Latitude of the Place The temperature of a place depends upon the solar radiation received.  The insolation varies according to the latitude, so the temperature also varies accordingly.  The solar radiations pass vertically along the equator.  The angle of incidence … Continue reading →

The amount of insolation received varies from latitude to latitude. Regions within the equator and 40° N and S latitudes receive abundant sunlight and hence more heat will be gained than lost. Hence they are energy surplus regions. Regions beyond … Continue reading →

Insolation The amount of solar energy that the planet receives or absorbs is known as insolation. Factors Affecting Insolation – Solar constant, the angle of incidence, the duration of the day, distance from the Sun, and transparency of the atmosphere. … Continue reading →
