EXERCISE 16: Insolation Name Section EXERCISE 16, PROBLEMS-PART I l. On the chart below. use the data from Figure 16-2 to plot the altitude of the noon Sun on the 22nd day of each month for the equator, 450 N and 90 Connect the values for each latitude with a labeled line you may also use a red for the equator a green line for 45 and a blue line for 90 N). Plot negative angles as a solar altitude of 0° Months Using the completed chart from problem 1 above, answer the following questions: 2. (a) On June 22, at which latitude (the equator or 45° N) is the noon Sun highest in the sky? (b) Does the noon Sun at the North Pole ever get as high as it is on January 22 at 45 N? 3. If the angle of incidence (based on the solar altitude at noon) were the only factor influenc- ing average daily insolation at the surface: (a) which of the three latitudes would receive the highest insolation on 622? (b) which of the three latitudes would receive the lowest insolation on 6/22?

Explanation / Answer

2.a. On june 22 at 45 degree latitude the sun will be recieving maximum insolation and the sun angle will be highest in the sky.

b. yes, the noon sun angle is higher than jan 22 at 45 degree latitude will be at 23.5 degree south latitude.

3.a The latitude recieving highest insolation on 6/22 will be 23.5 degree N latitude, 50 degree N latitude and 60 degree north latitude

b. The latitude wil be recieving lowest insolation on 6/22 will be 66.5degree S, 70 degree S , 60 degree south latitude
