Which month has the greatest duration of insolation for the equator?
The Summer Solstice (June 21).
Why do you think the amount of insolation increases from the poles towards the equator?
There is no 'why' because that statement is false. The equator is right in the CENTER of the tropics. As the sun wiggles back and forth between the edges of the tropics each year, the equator is the place that receives the MOST average insolation.
Why are the hottest climates near the equator?
This region receives the most nearly perpendicular insolation.
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.
Where on the moon gets the most sunlight yearly?
The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.The Moon's equator; on average, the Sun will be at a higher angle there.

What is the duration of insolation on march 21?
The duration of insolation on March 21 is 12 hours daylight. The duration of insolation is dependent on temperature, season and latitude.

There is no 'why' because that statement is false. The equator is right in the CENTER of the tropics. As the sun wiggles back and forth between the edges of the tropics each year, the equator is the place that receives the MOST average insolation.
Where is the 90 degree angle of insolation on the equinoxes?
Directly on the equator.
What is the length of time of daylight occurs at a location called?
Duration of insolation
Why are the hottest climates near the equator?
This region receives the most nearly perpendicular insolation.
On what days of the year is the duration of insolation the same everywhere?
Only on each equinox.
Regardless of the diurnal or seasonal cycle insolation is always?
higher at the equator and lower at the poles.
Duration of insolation?
The period of time that a surface receives solar energy. The number of daylight hours.
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.
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.
On which date does the maximum duration of insolation occur in the Northern Hemisphere?
Maximum duration of insolation occurs on the summer solstice (June 21). Duration of insolation is the hours of sunlight we receive on that given day in a given area. The summer solstice, or June 21, is when we have the most amount of sunlight on a day in the whole entire year so therefore; maximum duration of insolation is greatest on that day.
