Climate gets colder closer to the poles because the Sun`s rays are less concentrated near the
poles. The answer is letter D. Also, the Earth is tilted causing the Sun’s ray
to be farther from the poles.

Answer: The correct answer is- the Sun's rays are less concentrated near the poles.

The axis of the Earth is tilted, which causes the temperature difference between the Equator and polar regions of Earth.

Equator gets direct sunlight during the entire year whereas due to the tilted axis, polar regions are prevented to receive direct sunlight.

Also equator is aligned at 90 degrees to the sun, but as we move towards the poles, the angle of incident sunlight is increased exponentially.

So the intensity of the sun's rays is decreased or sunlight becomes less concentrated near the poles, resulting in colder climate closer to the poles.
