How does the relationship between solar energy and latitude affect a given area on earth?

Answer 1

You can only collect solare energy during the day, when the sun is above the horizon. When days get shorter, there'll be less solar energy to collect.

The latitude determines the angle by which the sun rays strike the Earth. Close to the equator the angle is close to vertical, which means they're nice and strong. Closer to the poles they strike with a bigger angle, making them more spread out, weaker. Down by the equator, the rays also have the shortest possible path through the atmosphere, again making them strong and nice. Further North or South, the rays have to pass through more atmosphere, which weakens them some.

Answer 2

the lower degree of the latitude line the more solar energy waves you get the higher you go the less so on.....

Answer 3

At low latitudes less heat is lost by reflection/absorption because the atmosphere path is shorter and therefore a ray heats up less ground
