The earth is hotter at its core and cooler as we look farther out. As regards the surface of the planet, it is warmer at the equator, and cooler toward and at the poles. There will be some slight variation owing to seasonal changes, but that is the basic answer.
The poles of the Earth have less heat compared to the equator. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, causing the poles to receive less direct sunlight, resulting in colder temperatures.
The north and south polar regions receive less direct solar radiation.
That would either be the North Pole or South Pole, depending on what season/time of year it is.

Which part of the earth receive less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
What would happen if more of the suns heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat was released into space would the earth get hotter or colder?
If more of the sun's heat became trapped, it would be like putting a heavy blanket over the Earth. Everything would become warmer.
What parts of earth does the sun warms?
The sun warms the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans. The sunlight is absorbed by the Earth's surface, causing it to heat up and then radiate heat back into the atmosphere. The atmosphere traps some of this heat, leading to the warming of the planet.
How is heat within earth's interior transferred primarily?
The heat in the Inner Core is generated by radioactive decay, and a small contribution from gravitational compression.This is transferred to the Outer Core by conduction and probably some convection as well, for the Outer Core is under less pressure and is partly fluid.The magma is fully fluid (if somewhat viscous) and conduction and convection both have their part in the transfer of heat.
What elevates the temperature of the earth?
More heat in & less heat out. Actually those are transients ... in the end they are always equal. Heat in changes with reflectivity of the Earth, changes in the sun, and changes in the Earth's orbit. Heat out is modified by clouds and "green-house gases".
Which part of the earth less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
Which part of the earth receive less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
When does the earth receive less heat from the sun?
The Earth receives less heat from the sun during winter in each hemisphere when that hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. This causes the sun's rays to hit the Earth at a more oblique angle, resulting in less direct heat.
What do you think will happen if the earth absorbs more heat and release less heat?
If the earth absorbs the heat, the earth will become very dry and superheated. This will cause many bushfires.
How does the heat form the sun travel to the earth?
Heat travels from the Sun to the Earth in waves. These waves are part of the solar radiation process.
Why temperature falls as you go higher?
the earth gives off much heat. as you ascend higher into the atmosphere, there is less heat from the earth, and fewer UV.
Does the sun heat up all part of the earth evenly?
No.
What would happen if more of suns heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat was released into space?
The Earth would start to heat up and the ocean would evaporate.
What would happen if more suns heat became trapped in earth atmosphere and less heat was released into space?
The Earth would start to heat up and the ocean would evaporate.
What would happen if the earth had less light and heat?
It would freeze over.
What is a geothermal map?
Geo Earth: Thermal Heat. A map that shows where the earth is more or less hot or cold.
What is the thickest less dense part of the lithosphere?
It is found in the earth
