Question

what would be the effect of the uneven distribution of the suns energy on earth?
the equator would be cooler than the poles.
the equator would be warmer than the poles.
the equator and the poles would both be warm.
the equator and the poles would both be cool.

Explanation:

The equator receives sunlight most directly, while the poles receive low - angle incoming solar energy. Direct sunlight means more concentrated energy (per unit area), leading to higher temperatures. Low - angle sunlight spreads over a larger area, resulting in less energy per unit area and lower temperatures. So, the equator would be warmer than the poles.

Answer:

The equator would be warmer than the poles.
