Why are areas closer to the poles cooler than those closer to the equator?
Areas closer to the poles are cooler than those near the equator primarily due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth. Near the equator, sunlight hits the surface more directly, resulting in higher temperatures and more intense solar energy. In contrast, sunlight at the poles arrives at a steeper angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. Additionally, the longer duration of daylight in summer and shorter in winter at the poles contributes to temperature variations.
What is the temperature if it is far from the equator?
The temperature typically decreases as you move farther away from the equator. This is because areas closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight, leading to cooler temperatures.
How does latitude related to climate?
Climates closer to the equator are warmer, and those closer to the poles (either north or south) are colder.
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
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.
Are the greatest daily changes in the poles?
Not necessarily. The poles experience minimal daily temperature changes due to their location. Areas closer to the equator experience greater daily temperature fluctuations due to the angle of sunlight and climate conditions.

How does latitude related to climate?
Climates closer to the equator are warmer, and those closer to the poles (either north or south) are colder.
Where is the change in length of daytime greater near equator or near the poles?
The closer you are to the poles, the greater the change.
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
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 further from the Equator the warmer?
This statement is incorrect. Generally, areas closer to the Equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore tend to be warmer. As you move further away from the Equator towards the poles, temperatures typically decrease.
Are the greatest daily changes in the poles?
Not necessarily. The poles experience minimal daily temperature changes due to their location. Areas closer to the equator experience greater daily temperature fluctuations due to the angle of sunlight and climate conditions.
What areas are farthest away from the equator called?
The North and South poles
Why do areas closer to the equator have warmer air than areas farther away?
the sun's radiation is concentrated in smaller area near the equator
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
Why is gravity stronger at the poles than the equator?
Gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator because of the Earth's shape. The Earth is an oblate spheroid, meaning it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator due to its rotation. This bulging at the equator causes objects to be farther away from the center of the Earth, resulting in weaker gravitational pull compared to the poles.
How are polar and tropic regions?
polar regions are in areas surrounded by poles or frigid zones, climate in these areas are cooler as they receive far less intensity from solar radiation, tropical regions are closer to the equator of the earth and therefore the climate in these areas are warmer
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator or ares near the north and south poles?
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator.
