Answer:
B. Sunlight is less spread out near the equator .
Step-by-step explanation:
The Earth is tilted on its axis so some places will receive Solar energy at an oblique angle and some at a direct angle.
Moving from the equator to the poles, sunlight hits Earth at a less direct angle, so the Sun's rays are more spread out and aren't as intense. Places near the poles are cooler than places near the equator because the sunlight they receive is more spread out (less concentrated), and the surface doesn't warm up as much.
At the equator the sun hits the Earth at a direct angle so the sun's rays are less spread out and more concentrated. This makes equatorial regions much warmer than polar regions .
