What two processes cause locations at high latitudes to receive less intense solar radiation compared to locations at lower latitudes?

Sagot :

In polar and high-latitude areas, the angle of incidence is very low, and the Sun's power must pass via even more of the atmosphere. The amount of atmospheric attenuation is greater, so less power passes through to the consistency.

Why do middle and higher latitudes receive less solar energy?

The more elevated the latitude the less the angle they create with the surface of the earth resulting in slant sun rays. The area surrounded by vertical rays is always smaller than the slant rays. If more area is covered, the energy gets distributed and the net energy obtained per unit area drops.
