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.

What latitude receives the highest angle of insolation on march 21?

On March 21, which is the spring equinox, the latitude that receives the highest angle of insolation is the equator (0 degrees latitude). During this time, the sun is directly overhead at the equator, leading to the most direct sunlight and maximum insolation. Locations at higher latitudes receive sunlight at a lower angle, resulting in less intense insolation.


Why does the northern hemisphere go clockwise?

Coriolis Force: How does the Earth's rotation modify the Wind? Wind does not cross the isobars at right angles as the pressure-gradient force directs. All free-moving objects, including wind, are deflected to the right of their path of motion in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left of their path of motion in the Southern Hemisphere. The reason for this deflection is the Coriolis force: where m is the mass and u is the velocity vector of a fluid parcel, and  is the rotation vector of the Earth. The magnitude of the Coriolis force is: where  is the latitude, f = 2 sin is called the Coriolis parameter, and u is the magnitude of the velocity. The Coriolis force written in vector form clearly indicates that It is directed at right angles to the direction of air flow. It affects only wind direction, not the wind speed. Its magnitude is affected by wind speed (the stronger the wind, the greater the deflecting force). Its magnitude increases from zero at the Equator to a maximum at the poles. The Coriolis force thus has the effect of deflecting air flow. It also has the effect of deflecting ocean currents.

Why are the maximum winds inside a tornado so high?

Tornadoes produce a large pressure drop over a short distance. The exerts a great force on the air and cause it to reach great speeds. On top of this, on one side of the tornado, its forward speed will be added to its rotational speed. In northern hemisphere (counterclockwise) tornadoes this will be the right side, and in southern hemisphere (clockwise) tornadoes it will be on the left side. In some tornadoes, smaller vortices can develop that move with the rotation, rotating at up to 100 mph. So that means if a tornado is moving at 30 mph (a typical speed), rotating at 100 mph, and has a subvortex rotating at 100 mph, winds on the right side of the tornado will at times reach 230 mph.

Duration of insolation?

Insolation refers to the amount of solar radiation that reaches a given area. The duration of insolation varies throughout the day, with maximum exposure typically occurring around midday when the sun is highest in the sky. Factors such as time of year, latitude, and cloud cover can also affect the duration of insolation.

What season is it in the soutern hepmisphere when northern hemisphereis tillted towards the sun?

When the earth is at the point in its orbit at which the northern hemisphere's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum, winter is beginning in the southern hemisphere.

Does the northern or southern hemisphere have more land?

The Northern Hemisphere has much more land than the southern. About 7/8 of the world's land area is in the Northern Hemisphere.Even the Land Hemisphere (half of Earth's surface containing the maximum land area) is still slightly more than half water. Oceans cover 70% of Earth's surface.


Why don't the dates of maximum and minimum temperatures coincide with the dates of maximum and minimum insolation?

The dates of maximum and minimum temperatures do not coincide with the dates of maximum and minimum insolation because temperature is not only affected by the amount of incoming solar radiation but also by factors like cloud cover, humidity, and heat capacity of the surface. These factors can cause delays in the heating and cooling of the Earth, resulting in differences between the timing of maximum insolation and maximum temperature.


When does the longest day happen?

Yes and no, in the Northern Hemisphere June 21st is the longest day of the year but June 21st is also the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight hours because the northern hemisphere is tilted to its maximum towards the sun. For simplicity we usually refer to the 21st of June as being the longest day, but sometimes it can actually be on the 20th of June or on the 22nd of June. For simplicity: For the northern hemisphere = Yes For the southern hemisphere = No


Why is southern hemisphere is called the water hemisphere?

The Southern Hemisphere is sometimes called the "water hemisphere" although that is technically the term for the hemisphere centered on New Zealand that has the maximum water area of any half of the Earth.The majority of the continents are clustered in the northern hemisphere which means that the southern hemisphere has more water area than the northern hemisphere (both hemispheres still have more water than land area).A continent is a land mass and conflating the term water and land would be nonsense.
