How is the tropics different in the heat of the sun, that su

I guess you're right, OP, it must be the same temperature everywhere in the world. Good thinking.

>Let me remind you that it makes no difference if there is a tilt, the whole hemisphere is lit up.
of course it makes a difference, different parts of the hemisphere get different amounts of sunlight

>>8495717
>it must be the same temperature everywhere in the world
so youre agreeing that the sun isnt million of miles away, instead an estimation using Pythagoras theorem of 3000 miles up and around 32 miles in diameter.

nope.

NASA's capture of the earth with the moon moving across shows the face lit up evenly.

Except, it's NOT about the distance traveled through space. It's about the area any given amount of light has to heat up. And the distance traveled through the atmosphere

Space has nothing to do with it.

Its A. how much *atmosphere* the light has to travel through, and B. given the angle, how much light is diffused over a larger area vs concentrated head on.

what is going on in this thread?

youre claiming that the atmosphere at the polar regions are very different from whats that the tropics?
And you're claiming that the tropics is hotter because is a much bigger space and has more time in the sun than the northern parts even though time zones are geographically divided laterally and not horizontally?
And you're claiming that the polar regions do not experience 12 hours of day since light cannot heat them up properly thus giving the result why its cold?

>>8495712
The tropics spend more time in direct sunlight than the poles do

Thats it

It's because Earth is a sphere, so the arctic regions face the sun at an angle different from the equatorial regions, meaning the same amount of light is used to heat up a larger surface in the arctic regions, so they are cooler (pic related shows how 1 square metre of land gets less light in the arctic than near the equator).

>The tropics spend more time in direct sunlight
still doesnt explain why antartica remains the coldest place on earth when there is supposedly a midnight sun during the summer solstice.
also ice reflects alot of light, snow melts within hours. why is there no seasons in Antarctica compared to the artic circle?

>>8495827
there are seasons in antarctica.

>>8495804
You fucking retard.

Sunlight makes the most direct contact with the equator.
The center of the ball.
Where it meets at a right angle.

Sunlight makes less direct contact with the North and South Pole.
The tips of the ball.
Where it only ever makes glancing contact.

>>8495827
What the fuck did you not understand about the goddamn Antarctica getting less energy/surface area due to facing the sun at a different angle? I said nothing about it spending more time in direct sunlight. Also I'm pretty sure the Antarctica has "seasons", they are just less pronounced because the whole place is frozen all year, compared to Europe, where you have hot weather in one season and snow in an other.

Lets change the subject slightly; you know how sloped armour works, right? How a plate can have the same uniform thickness, but it it is *angled* relative to an incoming shell, the *effective* thickness is higher; the shell has to travel through more material to penetrate.

Its the same way with sunlight reaching the arctics vs the tropics.

Did you have a difficult time understanding why shadows change shape as a child?

see the diagram? You can debunk it.
Antarctica does not experience the same conditions as the Arctic despite receiving the same amount of light during the winter when the earths tilt is on the opposite angle.

Yes it receives the same amount of light, but it differs in many things, for example Antarctica HAS FUCKING LAND UNDERNEATH IT, unlike the Arctic. And it pretty much experiences the same conditions, e.g. being a lot fucking colder than the rest of the planet. Also the diagram in the article you posted correlates pretty well with the diagram in your post in that the Arctic is the smallest in September after receiving sunlight all summer, while the Antarctica is the biggest in September after being in the dark all summer.

>>8495804
No, I'm not claiming ANY of those.

Here is the step-by-step answer to ALL your questions:
1) improve your reading comprehension
2) go to 1)

If this fails go to any 8 year old. He/she will be able to explain it perfectly.
