      generally, duh. what’s that got to do with OP’s question? it’s just word count filler fluff.

      Pretty sure the poles are colder because the farther you are from the equator, the less perpendicular the light. Light spread over a larger area means less heat per sqft. This is also why the seasons change with the tilt of the earth relative to the sun, and not the distance to the sun…

        That’s… what I thought as well but everyone’s shitting on every comment and downvoting any kind of discourse in ‘no stupid questions’ , best not to even trying having a discussion here I guess, learning bad, being asshole good 🤷‍♂️

          I mean the following are 2 different and unrelated questions. And the OP asked the answer for the 1st.

          1. Why is it colder as you up in altitude?
          2. Why is it colder in polar regions?

          He said : bad bot, proximity to polar regions is a bad explanation in itself.

          You replied: isnt it colder there?

          Which can be taken as you saying there’s nothing wrong with what the bot said. It is colder there, but that’s not why the bot is bad.

          Basically people will read into what you say and take it however they want to, i wouldn’t bother with people misunderstanding your intent. “Just asking” is a common tactic used for disinformation and steering conversations
