Answer 2

Insolation is solar radiation received in the Earth's atmosphere or at its surface. Only approximately 52 per cent of this insolation reaches the earth's surface. The rest is absorbed by water vapour, dust and clouds, or is reflected by the Earth's surface and scattered by particles in the air.

The term insolation is derived from the words "incoming solar radiation". Insolation is specifically applied to radiation which is arriving at earth’s atmosphere first and then earth surface. The heat is derived from solar energy, normally called solar radiation. Insolation' is the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface. It is measured by the amount of solar energy received per square centimetre per minute. Similarly, solar energy received by the earth is called insolation. It is the amount of incoming solar radiation that is received over a unit area of the earth’s surface. Solar energy received over the planet’s surface varies according to season, latitude, transparency of the atmosphere, and aspect or ground slope.

Insolation affects temperature. The more the insolation, the higher the temperature.
