Question

3 multiple choice 1 point what is the primary reason for the variation in sunlight intensity at different latitudes on earth? the tilt of earths axis leads to different angles of sunlight incidence at different times of the year, affecting sunlight intensity. the earths axial tilt and its revolution around the sun cause varying angles and durations of sunlight at different latitudes. the rotation of earth ensures that each point on the surface receives equal sunlight intensity over a 24 - hour period. the earths elliptical orbit causes significant changes in the distance from the sun, resulting in varied sunlight intensity.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The tilt of Earth's axis and its revolution around the Sun together lead to different angles and durations of sunlight at different latitudes, which is the main reason for the variation in sunlight intensity at different latitudes. Earth's rotation mainly causes day - night cycles and not the variation in sunlight intensity at different latitudes. The Earth's elliptical orbit has a relatively minor impact on sunlight intensity compared to the axial tilt and revolution.

Answer:

B. The Earth's axial tilt and its revolution around the Sun cause varying angles and durations of sunlight at different latitudes.
