A diagram should help. See the one below. Notice how the same amount of light from the sun is concentrated at the equator but spreadout at the poles. This means that there is less heat per square meter at the poles than there is at the equator. So the poles are cooler.
LOL no. The sun effects the equator more because it is centrally located. The sun moves up and down this is what the solstices and equinoxes are(earth revolves around the sun so the sun does not move per say and also keep in mind the earth has a tilt and a very slight wobble). At the Equinox the sun aligns with the equator. During the solstice the sun is closer to either pole. Hence why the summer solstice make the northern hemisphere warm and the winter solstice makes the southern hemisphere warm. It moves up and down but not top to bottom. During the solstices the sun is up in the north pole pretty much all day because of it's position. Winter solstice all day sun in the south pole and summer all day in the north pole. The reason it doesn't warm is because the magnetic field around the poles is stronger thus turning cosmic rays away, IMO.
Opinion of mine is YES . Today at Address Location South Pole there were jet Stream that created a Churning 3500 mile wide storm in the most dangerous sea on the planet. it has to do with new never seen before Sea currents and new jet streams . The Equator has always been warmer then the north Pole . Equator is the center of the earths axes
Regardless weather there's global warming or not, it will always be hotter in the equator than the north pole because of the axial tilt of the planet meaning the equatorial region always get the most amount of direct sunlight.
the equator receives more direct overhead sunlight, passing through the atmosphere straight down.
the poles receive sunlight at a sharp angle.
this light loses much of its energy while passing through the atmosphere sideways, and is spread out over more area.
it doesn't heat the ground as much as light closer to the equator.
No.
The poles are much colder because they get a lot less sunlight. But sunlight is constant on the equator.
The Earth is a sphere so the angle sunlight hits the poles is far from ideal for warming.But sunlight hits the equator almost directly, thus more warming.
mayo_carl has it right.

No it was like that before Al Gore invented Global Warming. It was like that during the Little Ice Age, long before our Industrial Age.
I hope you're trolling.
no
No.
