Question

sunlight striking earth near the north pole
correct the statement.
compared to the sunlight that strikes earth near the north pole, the sunlight that strikes near the equator spreads out over a ▼ area. this difference causes the sunlight that reaches the equator to be ▼ intense than the sunlight that reaches the north pole.

Explanation:

The sunlight near the equator spreads over a smaller area (not a large one as wrongly stated in the original). When sunlight spreads over a smaller area, the energy is more concentrated. So, the sunlight near the equator is more intense (not less as wrongly implied in the original).

Answer:

Compared to the sunlight that strikes Earth near the North Pole, the sunlight that strikes near the equator spreads out over a smaller area. This difference causes the sunlight that reaches the equator to be more intense than the sunlight that reaches the North Pole.
