The insolation only depends on the distance from the Sun.
On the Earth it's about 1.35 kW per square metre. For other planets you just divide by the square of the distance measured in astronomical units. It varies from about 15 kW per sq. m on Mercury to 1.5 W per sq. m on Neptune.

What is the SI unit of sphericity?
There is not a standard SI unit to measure sphericity.
What is Krumbein's sphericity and what is it's equation?
Krumbein's sphericity determines the roundness of a rock. The forumal is the cube root of DsDi/Di^2
What is the angle of insolation on the equator?
The angle of insolation affects the intensity of insolation directly. In other words, as the angle of insolation increases, so does the intensity of insolation because the Sun is directly overhead at Zenith, giving off direct, or vertical rays. The opposite happens when the angle of insolation decreases, causing a decrease in the intensity of insolation as well.
Why does adding a second planet affect the orbit of the first planet?
The law of universal gravitation
Does the size of the planet affect its atmosphere?
Yes
What is the solar energy that reaches the planet called?
insolation
What is the SI unit of sphericity?
There is not a standard SI unit to measure sphericity.
How would a lower angle of insolation affect the maximum temperature of a surface?
vv
What is Krumbein's sphericity and what is it's equation?
Krumbein's sphericity determines the roundness of a rock. The forumal is the cube root of DsDi/Di^2
How does earth's surface affect duration of insolation?
When Earth revolves around the sun different areas will get different amounts of insolation. For example, in the Northern Hemisphere our winter days are shorter and summers are longer.
How does the climate affect the kind of trees grow in Mexico?
Height and latitude affect levels of insolation, rain and humidity. See related questions.
When is Sphericity of cylinder is 1?
it can't be equal to 1
What are the types of insolation?
Direct and diffused insolation.
What is the sphericity for a cylinder whose length equals to diameter?
1
What is insolators?
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. It is an abbreviation for "incoming solar radiation."the amount of sunlight that reaches a planet.
What has the lowest insolation?
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. Polar regions have the lowest insolation.
What does the distance between the sun and a planet determine?
The distance between the sun and a planet determines its orbital period, its orbital speed, and the amount of insolation. Other factors such as composition and albedo are required to determine other variables.
