Question
earth receives sunlight that is much less intense.
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.
When sunlight strikes near the equator, it spreads over a smaller area compared to near the North Pole. Since the same amount of solar energy is concentrated over a smaller area near the equator, the sunlight there is more intense.
