Why are the tropics warm and the poles cold Choose the best answer the tilt of the earth makes the poles farther away from the Sun than the equator OO the curvature of the earth slopes away from the Sun towards the poles causing the sun to hit a lower less direct angles as heated air rises at the equator it cools and is less able to hold water producing rain as more air is heated along the equator the cooler ai above Earth s surface is pushed toward the poles the poles are tilted away from the Sun and thus receive a smaller amount of solar radiation per unit area
