Question: Why is it warmer at the equator than at the poles? It has something to do with the sun's rays, but i'm not exactly sure. I have a science test 2morrow. Help!

Answer: the suns rays hit the equator at "90 degrees" perpendicular and the heat is absorbed by the Earth. and the rays hit either poles at low angles therefore bouncing off rather than being absorbed.
