Question

places near the poles receive what?

Answer 1

Answer:

Near the poles, the Sun's rays strike the surface at a slant. This spreads the rays over a wide area. The more focused the rays are, the more energy an area receives, and the warmer it is. The lowest latitudes get the most energy from the Sun.
