John
(a) J - North pole, K - South pole

(b) - There is a higher concentration of heating at M and at N because the surface area at M is smaller than at N.

- The angle of incidence or inclination of the sun's rays at M is higher than at N hence the variation in intensity

- At N the sun's rays travel over a longer distance than at M thus losing the heat resulting to low intensity.
