Respuesta :

B. The sun shines more directly at the equator than at the poles

The true statement about the equator and the North and South Poles is that the sun shines more directly at the equator than at the poles.

The equator is simply known to be halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole, that is 0 degrees latitude.

It simply divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere.

The Earth is known to be widest at its Equator. The equator is known to have the most direct sunlight all year-round.

The Earth's axis is known to points in the same direction and thus, the part of Earth that receives the most direct rays from the Sun often changes as the Earth travels around the Sun.

Conclusively, the Sun's rays shine most directly on the equator, and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres get the same amount of Sunlight.
