Why do all the places of the earth not get
equal amount of sunlight?
Answers
Answer:
Because of the Earth's tilt the sun's rays strike the surface at a slant at the poles; they are less focused. 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.
Answer:
Different parts of Earth’s surface receive different amounts of sunlight. The sun’s rays strike Earth’s surface most directly at the equator. This focuses the rays on a small area. Because the rays hit more directly, the area is heated more. You can see this in the figure below. Notice that the Earth is tilted on its axis. Because of the Earth’s tilt the sun’s rays strike the surface at a slant at the poles; they are less focused. This spreads the rays over a wide area. Because the sun’s rays hit at a slant, the area is heated less. The more focused the rays are, the more energy an area receives and the warmer it is; the less focused the rays are, the less energy an area receives and the cooler it is.
