The high latitudes, also known as the polar zones, get less direct sunlight because the sun is near or below the horizon all year round.
Polar regions are located around the north pole and the south pole and have extremely cold temperatures. These regions are far away from the equator and get less direct sunlight than other areas.
Due to the tilt of the earth, the very top, known as the polar zones, has an extreme amount of day/night time, depending on the position the Earth currently is around the sun.
