Question

Which area of Earth is receiving the most heat from the Sun's rays?

the South Pole


the North Pole


south of the equator


north of the equator

Answer 1

The area of Earth that is receiving the most heat from the Sun's rays is generally **north of the equator**. This is because regions closer to the equator receive sunlight at a more direct angle throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. The area just south of the equator also receives significant heat, but overall, the northern hemisphere tends to have a greater landmass and, consequently, a larger area that absorbs heat from the Sun.
