Detailed explanation-1: -At higher latitudes, the Sun’s rays are less direct. The farther an area is from the equator, the lower its temperature. At the poles, the Sun’s rays are least direct. Much of the area is covered with ice and snow, which reflect a lot of sunlight.
Detailed explanation-2: -At the poles, the Sun’s rays are least direct.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sun rays fall at about 90˚ on the Equator and they fall slantingly towards the poles. Therefore the angle of incidence of the Sun’s rays decreases as we move from the equtor to the poles. On moving from left to right in a period in the periodic table, the size of the atom.
Detailed explanation-4: -The equator gets the most direct sunlight year-round. The angle of sunlight hitting the equator is more direct than it is at the poles, so the poles receive less direct sunlight.
Detailed explanation-5: -The more slanted the sun’s rays are, the longer they travel through the atmosphere, becoming more scattered and diffuse. Because the Earth is round, the frigid polar regions never get a high sun, and because of the tilted axis of rotation, these areas receive no sun at all during part of the year.
