Detailed explanation-1: -Around 3 pm the temperature is at its highest all over India. The heat continues to build all through noon while the sun is high in the sky. At around 3 pm the sun is low in the sky and the amount of heat leaving the Earth is more than the heat received by the earth. Thus, option (C) is correct.
Detailed explanation-2: -The longer the sun is out, the warmer the air becomes. Temperatures will continue to climb as long as Earth is receiving more incoming heat than it is radiating back into space. The re-radiation happens later in the day, making the hottest part of the day between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. during the summer.
Detailed explanation-3: -The greatest rate of heating occurs at solar noon, when the Sun is at its highest angle. However, the rate of heating generally continues to outpace the rate of cooling for a while after this, so it’s typical to have your highest temperatures in mid or late afternoon.
