Question

Why does Antarctica receive less of the Sun's heat than Panama

Answer 1

the arctic is as far away from the sun as you can get the equator is facing the sun so its warmer

Answer 2

Answer;

-Antarctica is polar, and is turned away from the sun for about half the year. Panama, which is equatorial, faces the sun all year.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Antarctica is the location of the South Pole. It is the southern-most point on Earth. Panama, on the other hand, is near the equator.

-The south pole is colder than the Equator because they receive oblique sun rays(low insolation) and direct sun rays(high insolation) at the equator. This causes variation in intensity of insolation which further influences heat energy received from the sun.
