Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The daily insolation in New York City (and other mid-latitude locations in the Northern Hemisphere) will be largest at the June solstice when the North Pole is tilted most directly towards the sun. At the equinoxes, the daily insolation will be equal between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, but overall lower than at the June solstice.
