Why are average temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Caused by the uneven heating of earth and its atmosphere?
Pole. (The north and south poles. They get less heat than the equator because the sun's rays hit the equator more directly where they hit the poles at an angle and have to be spread over a larger area.)
Air near the equator average higher temperatures than air near the poles?
c. sunlight falls in a more vertical position at the equator than near the poles.
Why is the actual circulation pattern of the Earths atmosphere more complicated than just rising at the equator and sinking at the poles?
Spin, water & land mass distribution, plus mountains.
Why is the troposphere thinner at the poles?
As air gets colder it contracts. While the total amount of air is about the same in any column of the troposphere, at the cold poles that column takes up less space, resulting in a shorter distance to the top of the troposphere.
Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?
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.
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?
Yes, there is more centrifugal force near the equator than at the poles of the earth.
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
Why are average temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Is the circumference of the earth measured around the surface or the atmosphere?
It is measured around the surface of the earth. The atmosphere has its own measurement excluded from that of the Earth. The Equator is bulged, and the Poles slightly flattened. The figure given is for sea level, and ignores any mountains. The Poles are about 21.4 km closer to the centre of the Earth than the Equator is.
Is the altitude of the tropopause greater at the equator than at the poles or at the poles than at the equator?
It is greater at the Equator. The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere varying in altitude from approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles to approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.
Caused by the uneven heating of earth and its atmosphere?
Pole. (The north and south poles. They get less heat than the equator because the sun's rays hit the equator more directly where they hit the poles at an angle and have to be spread over a larger area.)
Why are the regions away from the equator cool?
At the equator, the sun's rays strike the earth vertically - making their path through the atmosphere shorter than at the poles - thus more of the sun's energy reaches the earth's surface. Towards the poles, the angel of the sun's rays is flatter - meaning they pass through more of the earth's atmosphere.
