Antarctica is the location of the South Pole. It is the southern-most point on Earth. Panama, on the other hand, is near the equator, which is the middle of the Earth.
The sun is constantly emitting energy in the form of radiation waves. Because Earth is a sphere tilted, this radiation has less atmosphere through which to pass near the equator than Antarctica at the southern end of this sphere. Therefore, the radiation coming into the surface at Antarctica is attenuated - reduced- relative to Panama, and the surface is heated less.
What else can I help you with?
Why does Antarctic receive less of suns heat than Panama?
Antarctica is polar, and is turned away from the sun for about half the year. Panama, which is equatorial, faces the sun all year.
What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
Why does Antarctica receives less of the sun's heat than Panama?
The tilt of the earth and its 'face' to the sun, coupled with the location of each of these regions on the planet dictate the mount of sunlight each receives. Antarctica experiences extended periods of no sunlight because it is polar and that region tilts away from the sun periodically: Panama is equatorial, meaning that it is always available -- 'faces' -- the sun.
Why is mercury not the hotest planet to do nearest to the sun?
cause mercury doesnt trap the suns heat into the surface. It burns in the day time but freezes at the night time. Venus traps the suns heat in its surface.
Can rocks get burned?
Yes, the sun can burn Space rocks because of the suns heat.

Why some parts of earth's surface receive more of the sun's heat than the other?
it receive more heat because it is in a spot were the suns rays are always received
What does the suns heat and light come from?
the suns heat light and energy comes from the core of the sun and travels trough space
How do the suns heat get to the earth?
Radiation

What mode of heat is it for suns heat to reach us?
by solar energy
Why is Antarctica coldest of all countries?
Antarctica -- a continent, not a country -- is polar, which means that there are periods of no sunrises. The ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent operates as a 'heat sink' for the earth and reflects what sunlight it does receive back into the atmosphere.
How does the ocean absorb heat?
The ocean absorbs heat through the suns rays
Why is Antarctica's climate important to other parts of the world?
Antarctica is called the Earth's heat sink, which attracts excess heat from all over the planet.
Do the suns rays that are at an angle produce more heat?
no
What is radiation in water cycle?
the radiation is the suns heat
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
