"The
Revolving Earth"
Trivia Question
The
Earth is shaped like a round ball, so different places on Earth receive
more heat from the sun's rays than others. Around the equator it is
very hot because the sun's heat is spread over a small area while at
the North and South poles, the sun's heat rays reach the earth at a
larger angle, and the heat is spread out over a larger area and it is
less strong.
