Question

Which part of earth receives the greatest total amount of solar radiation when earth is in this position? northern hemisphere south pole southern hemisphere equator?

Answer 1

The regions closest to the equator receive the most direct sunlight because the light is arriving at an angle close to 0°. As a result, a lesser area is illuminated and so there is greater solar irradiance. The regions nearest to the poles receive sunlight at more of an angle, resulting in a larger area of illumination and therefore less solar irradiance.
