Antarctica is a continent located at the South Polar Region. The South Polar Region gets exposed during its summer season,i.e, from November to February owing to the Earth's tilted position. When it gets exposed, the South Pole where the White Continent is located, has sunlight for 24 hours since it is at the South Pole and it is exposed to the Sun all the time in its Summer season. That is the reason being why Antarctica gets maximum Solar Radiation.

∙ 9y agoThe Earth is tilted at an angle of 23o and hence, Antarctica receives maximum solar radiation owing to the revolution of the Earth around the sun.

What takes place in the troposphere part of the atmosphere in antarctica?
There is a "hole" in the ozone layer above that location.The ozone layer blocks most ultraviolet radiation from the Sun to reach ground level. The ozone layer above that area is mostly gone. Most of the ozone over there is gone. It is actually pretty dangerous for people to work in central Antarctica because the UV radiation from the Sun doesn't have much to deal with over there and can fairly easily penetrate in more vast quantities to ground level. Scientists in that area need to take extreme caution because they can possibly suffer from: radiation sickness, skin cancer, etc., especially when at solar maximum because matter ejected from the Sun during solar maximum get transferred to the poles by the Earth's magnetic field lines.
Does solar radiation contain a complete spectrum of all forms of electromagnetic radiation?
Yes it does. It contains all the forms of radiation, but 99% of its energy is carried by radiation with wavelengths between 278 and 4600 nm, with the maximum at 4720 nm.
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
Why are the two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator?
Because that's where the solar rays hit the earth at a 90 degree angle. And the earths rotation on a tilt causes the Solstice and Equinox.
Do the oceans release solar radiation?
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
What part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?
Visible light radiation
Which part of the solar electromagnetic spectrum has the maximum intensity?
!WRONG!infrared radiation!CORRECT AWNSER!visible light radiation
Place receives maximum solar energy in December?
Amritsar

The light from the sun is called?
Heat from the sun is called Solar Radiation, so the answer is SOLAR RADIATION
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
Why are the two periods of maximum solar radiation at the equator?
Because that's where the solar rays hit the earth at a 90 degree angle. And the earths rotation on a tilt causes the Solstice and Equinox.
Another word for Incoming Solar Radiation?
incoming solar radiation = insolation
When is solar radiation most intense?
Solar radiation is most intense at noon.
