Question

The heat of the sun is not as intense in this location.

  1. Near the North Pole
  2. Near the equator
  3. Far from equator
  4. Near the South Pole

hintHint:

Direct and focussed sun rays falls on the equator 

The correct answer is: Near the equator


    The sun's rays are strongest at the equator where the sun is most directly overhead and where UV rays must travel the shortest distance through the atmosphere.
    Direct and focussed sun rays falls on the equator and hence, the regions here are hotter and warmer. The polar regions receive diffused sun rays, which is why the areas there are colder
