Areas that are near the poles.
The earth is almost completely round. That means that the solar rays don't strike all parts of the planet equally. Because sun's energy is spread over a larger area at the Poles, the energy at one place is less than at lower latitudes.

∙ 13y agoThe North and South Poles receive the least amount of accumulated sunlight over the course of one year. Currently (January 2011) the North Pole is receiving the least amount of light because it is tipped the furthest away from the sun. In six months the South Pole will receive the least amount of sunlight because it will be tipped the furthest away from the sun.

Why are polar regions cooler than the equator?
Answer:sunlight strikes the poles at an oblique angle. From the polar regions, the sun is low in the sky, so that the sunlight hits the earth at a low angle, as it does for us in the morning and evening. This low angle means that the sunlight is more spread out, and thus warms the surface less. The polar regions of earth are not cooler because they are farther away from the equator, and they are not cooler because they are farther from the sun. The poles are only about 3000 km farther from the sun than is the equator at noon. This is about 0.002% of the earth-sun distance -- hardly significant.
