Question

what is the effect of latitude and altitude on distribution of insolation at any place? explain in brief​

Answer 1

Explanation:

This depends on the latitude of the place. The higher the latitude, the less is the angle they make with the surface of the earth. The area covered by the vertical rays is always less than the slant rays. If more area is covered, the energy gets distributed and the net energy received per unit area decreases.

Answer 2

Latitude is one of the main factors affecting temperature. With increase in distance from the equator the amount in insolation on an area decreases due to the round shape of the earth so, not every place receives the same amount of sunlight. Another reason is the differing angle of solar incidence.
