4. Give reasons.
(i) Wet clothes take longer time to dry on a humid day?
Answer:
On a humid day, the amount of water vapour in the air is more than on a sunny day. Due to this, the rate of evaporation is very low. That is why wet clothes take longer time to dry on a humid day
(ii) Amount of insolation decreases from the equator towards poles?
Answer:
Insolation is the incoming solar energy intercepted by the earth. Amount of insolation decreases from the equator toward poles, because due to the earth’s tilted axis the sun rays fall almost straight at the equator while they fall slanting as we move away from the equator towards the poles. Therefore, the sun rays spread at a larger area at the poles while they are concentrated over a small area at the equator. Thus, this results in more heating of the regions near the equator as compared to the regions away from the equator.
