How does latitude affect the amount of heat a place receives?

Open in App
Solution

The intensity of heat depends on the latitude. The heat of the sun is more in low latitudes in the high latitudes. The sun's rays fall perpendicularly over the equatorial region throughout the year while they fall in inclined direction over the polar areas. As a result, the equatorial region is much warmer than the polar region.
