Answer:

hey mate!

here is your answer

The lowest latitudes get the most energy from the sun. The highest latitudes get the least.

The tilt of the Earth causes different areas to receive different amounts of solar energy. The difference in solar energy received at different latitudes drives atmospheric circulation. Places that get more solar energy have more heat. Places that get less solar energy have less heat. The air above the areas receiving more heat warms up and rises. The air over the areas receiving less heat is cooler and so it sinks. The rising warm air and sinking cool air create wind which moves air and heat around the planet.

Answer:

Poles receive the least amount of light​.

Explanation:

  • Both hemispheres receive the same amount of energy from the Sun when it is above the equator. In a given year, solar radiation is most concentrated at the equator.
  • The amount of solar energy that Earth receives varies depending on its latitude, with the equator receiving the most and the poles the least.
  • Year-round, the equator receives the most direct sunlight. The equator receives more direct sunlight than the poles do because of the angle at which the sun strikes each location.
  • The tropical region receives the most direct sunshine throughout the year due to the tilt and curvature of the earth, and as you move farther from the equator, you get less direct sunlight, which results in colder temperatures. Less energy is received per square centimeter for elevation angles of 30°, 20°, and 10° or less because the rays are spread out across a larger area in these locations, which are distant from the equator.
