Questions 1-9 refer to the latitude/insolation graph on pg. 3 of this exercise 1. What is the insolation value of 60° N on: 1?June 21? Sept 22? Dec. 21? 2. Examine the insolation values for 60N and 60°S. During which single month do the maximum and minimum insolation values occur at each of these latitudes (use the mid month value)? 60° N: Min. month 60° S Max. month_ Max. month Min. month solation values at 60°N occur at opposite In terms of the earth's axial tilt, why do the max in times of year than the max values at 60 S? 3. 4. Record the insolation values for 23.5° N and 90° N at the time of the June solstice. 23.5°N: 90°N: Which of the above locations experiences the highest noon solar altitude on the June solstice? a. b. Why does 90° N receive a greater amount of insolation than 23.5° N in June?Explanation / Answer
Insolation refers to the amount of solar radiation received by earth. On the days of solistice it is equal to 11.49 KW/m^2(21 june and 0.58 KW/m^2 (21 december)
On the days of equinox it receives 5.19 KW/m^2 i.e on 21 march and 22 sept
