Sunlight

100

This is the source of almost all of Earth’s energy.

 The Sun / solar energy

200

When sunlight hits Earth at a low angle, it spreads over a _____ area, delivering less energy per square meter

 Larger

300

This region receives the most direct sunlight year-round because the sun is nearly overhead.

 The equator

400

Explain why the poles receive less solar energy than the equator.

Sunlight hits at a low angle at the poles, spreading energy over a larger area — so each square meter gets less heat
