Question

The equator has light closer to 90 degrees, at the poles the angle is lower than 90 degrees. Use this information and refer to the data from Table B to explain why the tropics (near the equator) are hotter than the arctic region (north/south poles). Be sure to include data from Table B in your answer.

Answer 1

The temperature at tropic region is warmer than the polar temperatures due to angle of the sun.

The tropics which is located near the equator are hotter than the arctic region i.e. north and south poles because the sunlight falls directly on the tropic regions at 90 degrees while on the other hand, the sunlight falls on the poles not directly and form angle lower than 90 degrees.

The amount of solar energy in a given area is greater at the equator and tropic regions than in an equal area at the poles so that's why the temperature at tropic region is warmer than the polar temperatures.
