Solar Energy and the Seasons
The Enduring EQ How does where you live affect
how you live?

• Low-latitude areas near the equator, called the
  tropics, receive great amounts of solar energy.
• The North and South poles, called polar regions,
  are at high latitudes and get very little solar
  energy.
• The middle-latitude regions, lying between the
  tropics and polar regions, receive varying
  amounts of solar energy during the year.

Factors Determining the Amount of Solar Energy a
Place Receives

  sunlight. (summer for the Northern Hemisphere)
• When the North Pole points away from the sun, the
  Southern Hemisphere receives more direct
  sunlight. (winter for Northern Hemisphere)
