my guess is the 10 highest peaks situated at or near the tropics on a clear day at the summer solstice
& if you mean annually rather than at any particular time
then i would guess the 10 highest peaks anywhere between the tropics

Does solar radiation affect the weather over the entire world?
solar radiation doesnt affect the entire world but it affects awhere the ozone layer has a hole
Do solar trains run all over the world?
No. There are no solar trains in the world. There are electric trains, some of which run on renewable energy, but there are no solar trains, that is, trains with solar panels that capture and use solar radiation on the run.
What is the coldest desert in the world and why is it so cold?
The Antarctic Desert is the coldest desert in the world because it is located in a polar region that receives no direct, overhead solar radiation. In fact, several months each year it receives no solar radiation. It is dark 24 hours per day.

Why January is the coldest month?
The shortest time of the year is the winter solstice, which happens at the end of December, the place of earth where you live is receiving the least amount of solar radiation (heat). With the decreasing solar radiation heating your area, it takes more and more to increase the temperature. So it's a delayed effect, the mean temperature keeps dropping with the increasing solar radiation not enough to overcome the falling temperature. So it takes longer for the temperatures to start rising. Of course cold fronts from different areas of the world can drastically affect that as well.
What natural event can block solar radiation and have a short-term effect on climate?
The transit of the Moon between the Earth and the Sun, an event called a solar eclipse, will block solar radiation, but will not affect the climate.A natural event that will block solar radiation and have a short-term cooling effect on the climate (by reflecting the sun's heat) is a volcanic eruption. Clouds of dust and ash can float around the world for some days causing a cooling effect.
Can solar panels be used at night?
Solar panels work because of infra-red radiation from the sun. the sun cannot be seen at night because it is at the other side of the world. My guess is no but I am not a scientist.
How do areas of the Earth near the equator which receive large amounts of solar energy lead to increased rainfall?
Increased solar energy causes more water to evaporate from bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. This evaporated water turns into clouds, and falls back to the earth as rain. This solar energy also drives convection which helps to distribute the moisture and rainfall around world.
What areas of the world receive the most precipitation?
New Zealand's Fjordlands and Hawaii's Alakai Swamp on Kauai.
Who is the world's first scientist in reporting sun's bharat radiation emission?
M.A.Padmanabha Rao,PhD(AIIMS) is the first scientist in reporting the discovery of Bharat Radiation in 12.87 to 31 nm range in solar spectrum in 2013.
Why does the hemisphere receive different amounts of solar energy at different times?
In The Online world It Says That, "Because The Earth is tilted and it rotates."
What is the definition of the solar energy?
Solar energy is the radiation from the Sun capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The overall amount of solar energy received on Earth is vastly more than the world's present and anticipated energy requirements. If properly harnessed, solar energy has the potential to satisfy all future energy needs.
