How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
What are earths main climate zone and how does latitude effect the climate zones?
There are three major climate zones on earth. These are the polar zone, temperate zone, and tropical zone. Latitude plays a huge role because the polar zones are higher latitudes while those zones extremely close to the middle of the earth is tropical.
How much sunlight does bromeliads need?
Bromeliads generally prefer bright, indirect sunlight. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but too much direct sun can scorch their leaves. It's best to place them in a location where they receive filtered sunlight or partial shade.
What are the climate zones in the US?
The three major climate zones on the Earth are the polar, temperate, and tropical zones. Temperatures in these three climate zones are determined mainly by the location, or latitude, of the zone. polar- has the coldest with temperatures almost always below freezing. The Mainland US is temperate, Most of Hawaii is tropical, and Northern Alaska is polar.
Why do places with the same latitude have different climates?
The biggest differences are the differing amount of sunlight. In low latitude (tropical) zones, there isn't a whole lot of difference between the amount of sunlight each day in the summer and in the winter, and the noonday sun comes pretty much straight down. There isn't a lot of difference between the seasons. In mid-latitude (temperate) zones, there's some fluctuation with longer days in the summer and shorter days in the winter. The noonday sun is lower in the sky during the fall, winter and summer seasons, and seasons can be pretty different. In high-latitude (arctic) areas, there may be no sunlight at all, and when the Sun is up, it's pretty low on the horizon and doesn't provide as much light and heat as in the other zones.
How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Why are polar zones colder than the other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.

Why are the polar zones colder than the other zones?
The polar zones are colder than other zones because sunlight at higher latitudes is spread out over a larger area, resulting in less energy per unit area reaching the surface. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight hits the polar regions is more oblique, leading to less heating. The presence of ice and snow in the polar regions also reflects sunlight, further reducing temperatures.
Should the solar power plant go in the polar region or desert region?
A desert receives much more sunlight than a polar region, especially during the winter when polar regions receive little daylight.
Why are the polar zones colder than other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
How much sunlight does Florida receive?
5.27hr
How much sunlight does planet mars receive?
Lots
How do the total number of hours of sun light in a year compare for a tropical regions and polar regions of the earth Why are polar regions so much cooler?
Tropical regions receive more sunlight hours throughout the year, as they are closer to the equator and experience more direct sunlight. In contrast, polar regions receive less sunlight due to their high latitude and tilt of the Earth's axis, resulting in cooler temperatures. The angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface in polar regions is also much lower, leading to less heat absorption.
What do the deserts get much of?
Most deserts receive much solar radiation - sunlight.
How much sunlight during summer solstice at the polar caps?
It ranges from 6 months at the pole to several months in the polar circle.
Does mars receive a lot of sunlight?
It does get sun but not as much as mercury and Venus
