Detailed explanation-1: -the angle of insolation increases. Intensity increases. Which results in hotter temp.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the Sun is positioned directly overhead or 90° from the horizon, the incoming insolation strikes the surface of the Earth at right angles and is most intense. If the Sun is 45° above the horizon, the incoming insolation strikes the Earth’s surface at an angle.
Detailed explanation-3: -This happens because the Earth’s axis is tilted. The Earth remains tilted as it revolves around the sun. Because of this tilt, different locations on the Earth receive different amounts of solar radiation at different times of the year.
Detailed explanation-4: -The angle of sunlight when it strikes Earth’s surface-called the angle of incidence-makes a big difference. The amount of insolation varies depending on latitude, the time of day, the time of year, and atmospheric conditions. Think about how a beam of light from a flashlight changes depending on its angle.
