If you mean radiation as in sunlight, then the axis tilting from season to season would probably explain that.

Why not all earth surface receive the same amount of radiation?

i don't know i asked the same question but no answer:(


Why do different areas on earths surface receive different amounts of solar radiation?

Because the Earth is tilted side ways.-YAMII ;)


What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?

The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.


What is the energy received by the earth from the sun in the form of radiation?

It may be called by different names, for example:* Solar energy * Solar radiation * Electromagnetic waves * Light (actually this is only part of the radiation we receive)

Does Mars receive radiation from the Sun?

Yes. Earth receives radiation. The atmosphere acts as a filter. The atmosphere of Mars is thinner than Earth. Mars receives radiation also.


How does cloud cover influence the amount of solar radiation that reachs the earth?

Cloud cover influences the amount of solar radiation that reaches Earth's surface because solar radiation cannot reach earth if there is tons of clouds blocking the way

If the Earth's axial tilt was 10 degrees then the poles would receive less solar radiation?

The polar regions will receive less radiation. The amount of solar radiation that impacts a particular area of the Earth is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal of the surface area and the incoming "ray" of radiation. So if the axial tilt was 0 then the angle of the solar radiation would be 90 degrees, the cosine of 90 is 0. At 10 degree tilt there will be an increase of ice, snow and glaciation due less solar radiation in summer.
