Answer 1

Answer 2

Areas near the Earth's Equator receives more sunlight than areas near the Poles.

Option: 1. A. Equator , 2. B. Poles

Step-by-step explanation:

• The areas near earth's equator receive more sunlight than areas near pole i.e areas near equator are hotter than areas near pole as the sun's rays hit the earth's surface at the equator at a higher angle, almost vertically i.e right angle which is not the case at poles of the earth.

• Hence, equator is said to receive more sunlight than the poles of the earth's surface.
