What parts of the Earth generally have the highest temperatures?

• More direct sunlight strikes the poles so they receives more energy and experiences higher temperatures than the equator.

• More direct sunlight strikes the equator so it receives more energy and experiences higher temperatures than the poles.

• More direct sunlight strikes the equator so it receives less energy and experiences lower temperatures than the poles.

What happens to the length of the day during the solstices? Why does this happen?

• Solstices have either the longest amount of light or the shortest amount of light. This happens when either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is at its weakest tilt towards the sun. The tilt of Earth's axis affects day length.

• Solstices have either the longest amount of light or the shortest amount of light. This happens when either the Northern or Southern equator is at its strongest tilt towards the sun. The mass of the Earth affects day length.

• Solstices have about the same amount of light. This happens when either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is at its strongest tilt towards the sun. The tilt of Earth's axis affects night length.

• Solstices have either the longest amount of light or the shortest amount of light. This happens when either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is at its strongest tilt towards the sun. The tilt of Earth's axis affects day length.
