True or false

The poles are colder because they are many more kilometers from the Sun than the equator.

If you don't mind please explain why! Thank you.

It is a true

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

They are colder because they don't get any direct sunlight, because of the way the earth is tilted on its axis. Not sure if that contradicts what you said though.

Edit: Pretty sure it doesn't, that's just further evidence.
