Question
There is unequal distribution of heat received from the Sun.
✓

Answer

The unequal distribution of heat received from the Sun is because:
  • The earth is spherical in shape.
  • The rays which fall on the equator are straight, occupy less area and give more heat.
  • The rays which fall on the curvature i.e., on the polar regions are slant rays which occupy large area and give less heat.
