Question

Latitude plays a major role in determining the climate of an area. What causes some areas of Earth to receive less direct solar energy than others?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The main cause of different parts of the earth receiving different amounts of solar energy is as a result of the tilt of the Earth. Having different latitudes also play a role in that, as latitudes are used to measure the distances between places on earth(together with longitude) receiving different amounts of solar energy also leads to having different atmospheric circulation. Making some places have more heat, while other places have lesser heat energies. Logically, the areas with higher presence of solar energy are going to be hotter than places with lesser presence of solar energy.
