How long it is daylight. In the summer, it's longer than in the winter.
The period of time that a surface receives solar energy. The number of daylight hours.
The duration of insolation on March 21 is 12 hours daylight. The duration of insolation is dependent on temperature, season and latitude.
The period of time that a surface receives solar energy. The number of daylight hours.
Intensity of insolation refers to the intensity of the sun's rays on the earth's surface. It is a measure of solar energy that is received by a given surface area at a given time.
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.
Insolation is a measurement of the solar radiation received by a surface over a unit time. Polar regions have the lowest insolation.
The duration of insolation on March 21 is 12 hours daylight. The duration of insolation is dependent on temperature, season and latitude.
Duration of insolation
Only on each equinox.
The Summer Solstice (June 21).
The period of time that a surface receives solar energy. The number of daylight hours.

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.
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.
Direct and diffused insolation.
To be withstanding for a duration
The angle the sun's rays hit a given surface on Earth.And the angle is measured from the horizon up to the position of the sun
Daylight duration refers to the total length of time over a specified period, be it day, week, month or years. Sunshine duration refers to the duration of sunlight over a given period of time.
