CLIMATE: WHEN THE SUN’S RAYS
STRIKE
q2. Which part of the earth
receives most of the sun’s rays?
Q3. Why does the amount of heat receive by places far from the equator become
less?
3. It is due to the tilt of the
Earth and the Earth’s shape.
Q4. Why are the coldest
places on earth found near the poles?
4. They receive less amount of heat
5. Due to the tilting of the
Earth’s axis, the Sun’s rays
strike vertically in places
near the equator. Thus,
receiving more heat making
the air temperature higher.
6. When the area is farther from
the equator, the air
temperature is lower resulting
in a cold climate. When the
place is nearer to the equator,
the air temperature is higher
which results in a warm climate.
