Well, at the equator, it's hot because the sun directly hits it. At the north and south pole, it is cold and icy because it receives very little sun in comparison to the equator.

How does uneven heating at the poles and equator affect climate and weather?

Uneven heating at the poles and equator drives atmospheric circulation, leading to the formation of global wind patterns and ocean currents. This creates differences in temperature and precipitation across different regions, influencing climate and weather patterns such as the formation of hurricanes and monsoons.


How does a locations latitude determine how warm or cold it is?

The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.


Why is the graduation or scale of measurement of latitude from the equator to the pole is not the same of different?

The graduation or scale of measurement of latitude from the equator to the poles is not the same because the Earth is not a perfect sphere but an oblate spheroid. As you move from the equator towards the poles, the lines of latitude get closer together due to the decreasing circumference of the Earth. This means that the distance covered by each degree of latitude decreases towards the poles.


Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?

On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.


Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?

Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.

Is the force and gravitational force poles and equator is same or different?

its is different ok :)


What two reasons cause the earth to have summer and winter?

1. the earth moves away from the sun on one side causing different weather patterns 2. the equator causes the poles to change the weather
