Explain solar radiation and how it strikes at the poles of the equator?

Answer 1

Solar radiations are streams of radioactive particles propagating in every direction from the sun. The magnetic poles of earth attracts rather that being stricken by it.

Answer 2

Solar radiation is the total of everything being radiated by the sun. Most of the solar radiation is lost in space, traces reach other planets. Some of the radiation is visible light other is invisible and some change to heat upon striking the earth. Only about 43% of the solar radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere from the sun actually hits the earth surface. The rest is absorbed in the atmosphere or reflected back into space. It strikes the equator more directly than at the poles. This is because the poles do not face the sun. This is easy to understand with a flashlight. Take a flashlight and point it directly at a flat piece of paper. Notice how bright the circle of light is. Now move that flashlight close to 90 degrees from directly above. Notice how the light spreads and covers more area, but at less intensity. Translate that to equator and poles.
