Question

Write a paragraph explaining why the North and South Poles experience seasons differently than the rest of the planet. Why do they have periods of continuous daylight or continuous darkness?

Answer 1

Answer:because the poles receive less energy and heat from sun

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the earth's tilt and orbit around the sun, the poles receive less energy and heat from the sun. In summer at the poles, the sun does not set, and in winter the sun does not rise.

Answer 2

At the poles, there are no directions. From the North Pole, whichever way we look it is South, and from the South Pole, whichever way we look, it is North. There is no Sunrise or Sunset at the polar regions as we experience at lower latitudes. The Sun appears above the horizon in Summer and makes a 360° circle in the sky - over a period of 187 days at the North Pole 90° North latitude. And in winter, the Sun is below the horizon for 163 days of darkness and 24 days of semi-darkness when the Sun is just below the horizon. It's not exactly six months of darkness/sunlight at the poles. (In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August, and no sunrise between November 14 and January 29.) Needless to mention, when it is summer in the Northern hemisphere, it is winter in the South
