Relative to latitude and surface energy receipts,which of the following is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insolation intensity (incoming solar radiation) decreases with distance from the subsolar point, which is the point on Earth's surface directly under the sun at any given time. As latitude increases, the angle of incidence decreases, causing the same amount of incoming radiation to be spread out over a larger surface area. This results in lower insolation intensity. Seasonal effects and daylength also vary with latitude, but they do not relate to surface energy receipts in the same way as insolation intensity.
