Relevant answers:

Does the angle of insolation change by latitude?
Yes. The sun hits the earth at different angles. Different latitudes get different amounts of direct sunlight at different times.
What does the temperature do as the angle of insolation increases?
The temperature goes up because when the angle of insolation increases, it means that the sun's rays are becoming more directly focused on that area. That makes it hotter. For example, the equator is...
Angle of insolation relate to changing latitude?
The angle of "insolation" is the angle at which the sun's light hits the earth. This varies by the latitude (how far north or south of the equator you are) and by the Sun's declination (the angle of...
What latitude has the greatest angle of insolation?
38 degrees north 90° North and South ... the north and south poles.
Does temperature increase as latitude increases?
No, temperatures generally decrease as latitudes increase. The equator (30° to 40°C) is 0° latitude while the poles (0° to -40°C) are at 90° latitude.
