The North Pole receives more sunlight than the equator in June

At the June solstice, the North Pole receives 36 percent more solar radiation than the equator at the top of the atmosphere. This peculiarity is due to the 24-hour days characteristic of polar regions in summer. However, this abundance is temporary since the North Pole is totally deprived of sunlight during the six months from the September equinox to the March equinox.
