Question
analyzing the uneven distribution of suns energy on earth
sun rays
low angle of incoming sunlight
sunlight strikes most directly
low angle of incoming solar energy
north pole
equator
south pole
what would be the effect of the uneven distribution of the suns energy on earth?
the equator and the poles would both be cool.
the equator and the poles would both be warm.
the equator would be warmer than the poles.
the equator would be cooler than the poles.
The equator receives more direct sunlight (higher intensity per unit area) due to the angle of sunlight. The poles receive sunlight at a low angle, spreading the energy over a larger area. So, the equator gets more heat.
