Question

explain with a diagram, the effect of the spherical shape of the earth on the temperature at different latitudes.

Answer 1

Because the Earth is a sphere, the surface gets much more intense sunlight, hence heat, at the equator than at the poles. On the equinox, the Sun passes directly overhead at noon on the equator and a square centimeter of ground receives about 1 calorie of heat energy (see solar constant).

Answer 2

Answer:

The spherical shape of planet Earth hugely affects the temperature at different latitudes. Just because of Earth's spherical shape the regions of equators get intense sunlight than the regions of north and south poles. ... Polar zone gets less sunlight and hence these regions are colder then temperate and tropical zones.
