Base your answer to the following question on the diagrams below and on your knowledge of Earth
science. The diagrams, labeled A, B, and C, represent equal-sized portions of the Sun's rays striking
Earth's surface at 23.5° N latitude at noon at three different times of the year. The angle at which the
Sun's rays hit Earth's surface and the relative areas of Earth's surface receiving the rays at the three
different angles of insolation are shown.
As viewed in sequence from A to B to C, rank these diagrams representing which months and intensity of insolation (sun's rays)?
A
B
C
December
March
June
Most intense insolation
Least intense insolation
