What is the date and latitude for the greatest amount of insolation in the southern hemisphere?

Sagot :

The day of the year that has the greatest amount of insolation is June 20 or 21, and December 21 or 22 in the Southern Hemisphere.

Solar radiation that enters the Earth's atmosphere or surface is known as insolation. Only around 52% of this insolation reaches the surface of the earth. The remainder is reflected by the Earth's surface and dispersed by airborne particles, or it is absorbed by water vapor, dust, and clouds.

The portion of Earth south of the equator, a hypothetical horizontal line that circles the planet halfway between its poles, is known as the southern hemisphere. The Northern Hemisphere sees its peak insolation and summer on June 21 as a result of the Earth's continuous motion, with the highest overhead sun now over the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N).
