Explanation / Answer

Ans1. The reason for those relative solar radiation amounts is that , at the june solistice , with north pole is tipped directly toward the sun, the equator has the shortest day length of those three latitudes , at exactly 12h. The north pole has 24h day length , and 40degree N has about 15h. Also because at 90 degree north the sun is constantly 23 1/2 degree above the horizon , while at 0 degree north /south and at 40degree north , the sun is lower than that for a good portion of the 12 to 15 of daylight. And at the june solstice the highest the sun gets in the sky , on the equator , is 23 1/2 degree from zenith , while at 40 degree noth its 40-23 1/2 degree = 16 1/2 from zenith higher than at the equator . This makes that North pole recives more than equator.

Ans2. The concept is same behind it in december the north pole points away from the sun and recieves no solar radition which makes the atmosphere recieve or absorb no light and radition .

Ans3. The angle at which the sun rays strike the earth determines the amount of solar energy receives per unit surface area. During the summer the sun rays strike the earth surfave at the greater angle than the winter

40 degree south latitude in winter / summer is 14h 52m/ 9h 8 m exactly opposite in the northern hemisphere
