Correct Answer: Option 2 – Receive less total yearly hours of daylight

Polar region receive less intensive solar radiation because the sun's energy arrives at an oblique angle, spreading over a larger area, and also travels a longer distance through the Earth's atmosphere in which it may be absorbed, scattered or reflected, which is the same thing that causes winters to be colder than the rest of the year in temperate areas.

The axial tilt of the Earth has major effects on climate of the polar regions. Since the Polar Regions are the farthest from the equator, they receive the least amount of sunlight and are therefore frigid. The large amount of ice and snow also reflects a large part of what little sunlight the polar regions receive, contributing to the cold. Polar regions are characterized by the polar climate, extremely cold temperatures, heavy glaciations wherever there is sufficient precipitation to form permanent ice, and extreme variations in daylight hours, with twenty-four hours of daylight in summer (the midnight sun), and complete darkness at mid winter .

Based on these arguments, the rest of the options are incorrect

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Pluto, Earth’s Moon, Mercury, Mars

Equatorial diameter of Earth’s Moon-3476 km

Equatorial diameter of Pluto- 2390 km

Equatorial diameter of Mars- 6792 km

Equatorial diameter of Mercury- 4879 km

When considering the increasing of the equatorial diameter,

Pluto < Earth’s Moon < Mercury < Mars

Based on these arguments, the rest of the options are incorrect
