Question

The time of maximum daily temperature occurs

after the time of maximum insolation, because an energy surplus accumulates in the atmosphere while the Sun is still high in the sky and reaches a peak in mid-afternoon. before the time of maximum insolation occurs, because the thermosphere transfers heat energy to the surface during the early morning hours as the D and E layers in the ionosphere become active. after the time of maximum insolation, because the ground starts to reflect heat energy in the late afternoon, and this creates an energy surplus. at the same time that maximum insolation occurs, because that is when maximum energy is available for heating the air. before the time of maximum insolation, because the residual heat energy left over in the atmosphere from the previous day adds to the energy supplied by insolation. Local noon and insolation peak Warmest time of day /Lag Coolest time, of day1 Air temperature* Surplus of radiant energy Absorbed insolation Midnight Sunrise Noon 3P.M.
