To determine which model shows the part of Earth's surface that would heat up the least, we need to consider how sunlight strikes the Earth at different angles.
- Sunlight striking at a low angle (like at the poles) spreads out over a larger area and has to travel through more atmosphere, which reduces its intensity.
- Sunlight striking at a more direct angle (like at the equator) concentrates more energy on a smaller area, increasing heating.
Based on this understanding, the correct choice would be the model that depicts sunlight striking the surface at the most oblique or least direct angle. Please examine the options (A, B, C) to see which model visually represents that scenario.
If you can describe the models to me, I can help you decide which one it is!
