Question

Would sunlight have to go through same thickness of atmosphere to reach equator as it would to reach the poles ​

Answer 1

At latitudes higher than 60°N and 60°S the Sun'senergy spreads out over large areas due to theEarth's curvature and axial tilt. Less energy per unit area means lower overall temperatures. The axial tilt means that each pole receives constantsunlight during its summer when the pole is pointed toward the Sun

Answer 2

Answer:

Because of increasing amounts of atmosphere that the solar radiation must pass through in order to reach the Earth's surface, we can see from the graphic below that while the number of atmospheres is one (1.00) over the Equator and increases gradually and only slightly as you move toward the poles, there is a sharp.
