Question

In which of the following heat zones there are long periods when the Sun rays are not received at all?

Options

• Torrid

• Temperate

• Frigid

• None of these.

Answer 1

Frigid

Explanation:

In the Frigid Zone (near the poles), there are long periods during the year when the Sun’s rays are completely absent due to the Earth’s tilted axis. This causes polar nights lasting weeks or months without sunlight. Such long periods of no solar radiation do not occur in the Torrid or Temperate zones, which receive sunlight every day throughout the year.
