Question

Why do the poles have the coldest climates on earth?

1.because of the angle (the slant) of the sun's rays
2.because the sun's rays do not reach the poles
3. because the sun's rays fall most directly on the equator, not on the poles

Answer 1

Hi there!

The answer is 3., but 1. is VERY close to the correct answer. 1. is incorrect, because the sun's rays do not slant, but the Earth does.

Answer 2

The poles have the coldest climates on earth because the sun’s ray fall most directly on the equator, not on the poles.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The poles are the place that doesn’t receive the direct sun rays even in the summer season.

• The sun is always near to the equator and hence equator is hot and has larger temperature than polar region. In winter season the day light falls only some hours in Polar Regions.
