The sunlight that hits the Northand South Poles is spread out that is why it is cold. On the equator it is a more direct hit from the sun.

Answer:

At the equinoxes (Vernal and Autumnal) unlight is tangential to the surface at either pole. At the. As the year progresses the angle of incidence changes. After the Vernal equinox, at the north pole, it increases to 23.5 degrees (Earth's tilt on its axis actually varies from near 22 degrees to 24.5 degrees) as the year progresses to the Summer Solstice. Ut then decreases to the rangential state. After the Autumnal equinox the sunlight does not strike the noth pole until the next Vernal equinox. These conditions are reversed at the south pole.
