b) La Serena

c) Ushuaia

a) December

b) March

c) June

d) September and March

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1: The Sun angle in Mar Chiquita is lower than Ushuaia in December but not in june This happens because during December, winter Solstice happens and then the Sun rays fall directly on tropic of capricon which is very near to Ushuaia.

Ans 2: Macapá and Galápagos Islands have the same latitude. So what could make their solar energy capability differ is their cloud cover may differ from each other. Since, they are nearly same latitude so the yearly daylight time are nearly same.

Ans 3: Galápagos Islands would have the most consistent solar-power-generation capability year-round since it is present near equator and recieves maximum daylight during whole year.

Ans 4: Solar energy generation at Macapá would most likely be at a maximum in September and March. Because it is situated near the equator, it recieves maximum daytime during the equinoxes because during equinoxes sunlight falls directly on the equator.
