Are the tropics hotter than the poles because the sun strikes this area of earth more indirectly?
No, the tropics are actually hotter than the poles because the sun strikes the tropics more directly. This direct sunlight leads to higher temperatures, as the solar energy is concentrated over a smaller surface area. In contrast, the poles receive sunlight at a more oblique angle, causing it to spread out over a larger area and resulting in cooler temperatures. Additionally, the tilt of the Earth's axis affects how sunlight is distributed, further contributing to the temperature differences between these regions.

Why does the sun angle affect climate at different latitudes?
The unequal heating of different areas on the planet sets up difference in temperatures and pressure. That gives rise to storms and circulation of the atmosphere. The suns angle is important because the intensity of sunlight in the tropics gives more solar energy that the lower angle of the light given to the poles. Thus making the topics hotter and the poles colder.
When the sun is higher in the sky in summer why is it hotter?
because the earht spins on its axis
Which star is hotter in an eclipsing binary system?
Generally the main star as this will have the most mass. However, temperature is not necessarily based on mass, so a secondary unit, could well be hotter but less massive.
Why is the equator hotter the closer you get?
Earth's surface is curved. Therefore, people living between the tropics will be closer to the sun by the difference of earth's radius to the latitude of those outside the tropics. The tropics are the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. In other words, during the summer solstice of the nothern hemisphere those on the Tropic of Capricorn (at high noon) are actually slightly closer to the sun than even those living on the equator. Those on the equator are only closest to the sun (at high noon) during the equinoxes. Anyone on the southern pole near winter solstice will be the furthest possible distance from the sun humans can get on the surface of the earth--since earth currently approaches aphelion during the southern pole's winter solstice.
What is hotter land or water?
which gets hotter land or water
T or F The tropics are hotter than the poles because the sun strikes this area of earth more indirectly?
That depends on which area you mean when you say "this area of Earth".The sun strikes the Tropics more directly than the poles, and each poledoesn't see the sun at all during six months of the year. That's whythe polar regions are colder than the Tropics.
Why is it hotter around the tropics?
The tropics receive more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to other regions because they are positioned near the equator. This intense sunlight causes greater heating of the surface, leading to hotter temperatures in tropical areas.
Why is there more evaporation in tropics?
It's hotter there.
Why are raindrops bigger at warm temperature as for example in the tropics?
the hotter condtions make it condense much more
Which statement below explains why the temperature in the tropics at the equator is hotter than the temperature in Louisville?
The correct statemnent is not on the list that appears below the question.
How do things get hotter and colder?
Things get hotter because of the sun, and things get colder because of the snow
How can you measure the surface temperature of the sun?
Indirectly, by analyzing the light given off by the Sun. Typically, a hotter object will emit electromagnetic waves of higher-energy - on average, because such an object will emit a mix of many electromagnetic waves.
Why is it almost always hot in area called tropics?
It has to do with the Earth being round and how the Sun shines on it. The tropics are mostly close to the roundest part of the Earth or EQUATOR. Most places near the equator are hot because the rays of the sun fully shine on them most of the year(except at night of course). This causes these places to be hotter than those that the Sun`s rays do not shine directly at.
Is it hotter the most or colder the most in the year in Florida?
it is hotter because your breath is very hot and steamy that why it is hotter
Why is orange hotter than yellow?

Why do girs get hotter and hotter?
Because you keep getting more desperate and desperate.
Is Florida hotter then Illinois why?
Florida is a lot hotter because it is closer to the equator.
