The fact that North Pole’s summer is cold is because of its

[From: Astronomy & Space] [author: ] [Date: 01-31] [Hit: ]
The fact that North Pole’s summer is cold is because of its very low solar angle during the summer even though it has continuous daytime?Then why is North Pole’s winter still far colder than North Pole’s summer......


The fact that North Pole’s summer is cold is because of its very low solar angle during the summer even though it has continuous daytime?
Then why is North Pole’s winter still far colder than North Pole’s summer

answers:
Bill-M say: North Pole during winter. NO SUN at all completely Dark.
-
aladdinwa say: Because the North Pole has liquid water under the ice, which slightly warms the ice and the air above the ice. The South Pole has frozen rock under the ice, which does not warm anything.
-
Jeffrey K say: In winter, the north pole never sees the sun at all.
-
Clive say: Because, very obviously, the Sun doesn't rise at all during winter. At the poles, there is 6 months of day followed by 6 months of night.
-
cosmo say: Yes, you're correct. Solar heating on a square meter of Earth has, on average, a cosine (latitude) term that means even the arctic summer is cold.

Ronald 7 say: The North Pole's Summer has 24 hours Sunshine
Winter has 25 Hours night
At both Poles, the Summer Sun never rises above 10 Degrees above the Horizon
Giving the Sun's Rays a long way to come through the AtmosphereYhe Poles barely get any time to Thaw
The Ice Shelves contract a bit though
Either way with Latent Heat and all that the Temperatures remain very low
The North Pole is surrounded by land which tends to store and absorb heat
Antarctica is surrounded by the Southern Ocean with very little Landmasses close to it
Sea Reflects heat making the South Pole even colder than the North Pole
-
poldi2 say: Winter is colder because the solar angle in winter is even lower than in summer.
-
Athena say: False
-
Henry say: It has to be checked again. The earth is flat.
-
Vincent G say: Because North Pole's winter has the sun lower still, so low in fact that it does not even rise.
