On Earth's surface, less direct and less intense solar radiation are received by the poles.
Answer: Option 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Various parts of Earth's surface get different measures of sunlight. The part which is closer to the sun receives more radiation than the part which is far away.
The Sun's beams strike Earth's surface most directly at the Equator as it is near to the sun when compared to the poles in which it strikes the surface at an inclination.
