The poles experience 6 months of daylight and 6 month of darnos . The sun is never higher than 23.5 degrees above the horizon . Use one or both of these ideas as evidence to explain why the season are most extreme at the poles

Answer 1

North and South pole are cold as they do not receive direct sunlight. South pole is much colder than North pole. The Sun is always low on the horizon, even during summer and winters.

The Sun only comes up for a few months, that is why both nights and days are dark and cold.

The average mean temperature in summers at North pole is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and in winters its minus 40 degrees. While at south pole it is minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit and in winters it is minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit.
