Why is there no large temperature variation from the poles to the equator on Jupiter?
What will be an ideal response?
The surface temperature on Jupiter is determined more by internal heat (from gravitational contraction) than by solar radiation. Thus the poles and the equator are at nearly the same temperature.

B) It is inversely proportional to the angle. C) It is same for both planes. D) There is not enough information to answer the question.
