The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
The poles recieve less solar energy because they are farther from the equator than other places. The equator is the warmest place, it's where the sun gives off its most solar energy. If you have been to the Carribian you notice how it's hot and summer-like. Places by the equator don't really have seasons. Just summer weather. The poles, on the other hand, are far away from the equator, and the sun.
It is because the North and South Poles don't point right at the Sun, as the Equator does, being on the top of the Earth the poles cannot get the direct rays from the Sun. But, the Equator can because it is always pointing towards the Sun, thus, getting more solar energy. Hope this helped.
Less solar energy reaches the poles than the equator due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, resulting in higher energy concentration. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight arrives at a steeper angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. Additionally, the poles experience prolonged periods of darkness during winter months, further limiting solar energy absorption.
Areas near the equator receive more solar energy because the sun's rays hit this region more directly, at a near-vertical angle. This results in more concentrated solar energy per unit area compared to areas at higher latitudes, where the sun's rays are more spread out.
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces

The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.

The Atacama desert
areas near the poles receive less solar energy per unit area.
The angle at which solar radiation hits the Earth is more direct at the equator, leading to more concentrated heat and warmer temperatures. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight strikes at a shallower angle, spreading the solar energy over a larger area and resulting in colder temperatures.
Equatorial regions receive the most solar energy because they are closer to the sun and receive more direct sunlight throughout the year. Polar regions receive less solar energy due to their high latitudes and the tilt of the Earth's axis, resulting in prolonged periods of darkness during certain times of the year.
The regions close to the equator receive most energy from the Sun. The reason is that for observers in such regions, the Sun is higher in the sky.
All regions near the equator receive about the same amount of solar energy but the Atacama desert gets the most.
