Respuesta :

Answer:

intensity of insolation is strongest at Tropic of Cancer during summer solstice (June)

Explanation:

  • As solar intensity depends upon the availability of insolation throughout the day, angle of incidence and duration of day earth distance from the sun all are affected by this phenomenon.
  • The longer periods of sunshine directly impact the amount of solar received at the surface of the earth. Places on the equator receive most of the solar radiation at a 90-degree angle throughout the year.
  • The months of June to Sept see a huge amount of sun rays at the surface of the earth. June 21 marks the summer solstice hence the longest period of sunshine over the northern hemispheres.
