The main reason some parts of Earth are heated more than others is the sun's rays strike parts near the equator more directly than parts near the poles. This direct sunlight at the equator results in higher temperatures, while the sunlight strikes the poles at a shallower angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and leading to cooler temperatures.
What is the main reason some parts of Earth are heated more than other parts?

-Parts that have more snow reflect sunlight more than parts without snow
-Parts near the poles are farther from the sun than parts near the equator are
