GARRETT P. SERVISS ON WHY
THE POLES ARE COLD
Due to Varying Angle of Incidence of Suns Rays
Falling Upon the Earth in Different
Latitudes
Latitudes,

! the earth, because vne suns diam
eter IL far greater, even. than the
distance between the earth and
the moon.
Accordingly, In the diagram, we
represent the solar rays striking
the earth in parallel lines.
For convenience we consider
these rays in broad shafts i'm
pinging on the globe on each
side Of the equator. Eight such
shafts are shown. Of equal width.
between each pole and the equa-
tor. The hemisphere facing the
sun is divided into three equal
parts, OF 80 degrees each, one
each side Of the equator. Take,
first, the part between the equa-
tor and 80 degrees N. We find
four of the shafts Of sun rays
falling upon 1t. Then, take the
next part, or arc, Of 30 degrees.
It receives only three shafts.
Finally, the last are Of 30 de-
Rrees, extending from so degrees
north to the pole, has only one
Of the shafts. 1t is the same in
the southern hemisphere.
But what is the meaning? It
Is that the surface Of the earth
within 80 degrees of the poles re-
ceives, because of its slope, only
about a quarter as much solar
heat as an area Of equal width
within 30 degrees Of the equator.
Mean Situation
The diagram represents the
mean situation, which IL shat at
the equinoxes, when the sun is
exactly over the equator. In mid
summer the sun IL 23a degrees
north of the equator, and the
North Pole Is in perpetual day
light; but in mid winter. when the
sun is an equal distance south Of
the equator, the North Pole IL
buried in perpetual night.
During the long polar nights
there il. of course, a temporary
accumulation of heat, but this. in
the mean yearly account, ls coun.
ter-balanced by the loss during
the ensuing long polar night. The
relative amount of polar heat re-
ceived in any latitude varies az
the sine Of the suns altitude
above the horizon, the amount
received from a vertical sun on
the equator being taken as unity
Thus at Is degrees north dhe
center Of our first arc) the suns
altitude Is rs degrees and the
relative amount of heat, per unit
area, is O,966; at rs degrees (the
center of our last, or polar arc).
the altitude ia Is degrees, and
the amount Of heat O,259.
The Influence Of the thickness
of atmosphere through which the
suns rays must pass Is simply an
adjunct to the effect of differences
of latitude and of altitude. The
same ID true of the variations of
relative length Of day and night.
