NGSS.HS-ESS2-2

It is colder at the North Pole than the Equator because...

• Solar radiation strikes the Earth directly at the North Pole

• The North Pole is further away from the Sun than the Equator

• Due to the curvature AND the tilt of the Earth. solar radiation is spread across a larger area at the North Pole

• The Earth's wobble causes the North Pole to move away from the incoming radiation
