Is it true that there is more solar energy available in the tropics? Explain briefly.
(A) Yes,it is true that there is more solar energy available in the tropics.
The tropics are located near the equator,where the sun's rays fall almost vertically throughout the year.
This results in a higher intensity of solar radiation per unit area compared to the temperate and polar regions.
Additionally,the length of the day and night remains relatively constant at the equator,providing a consistent supply of energy for photosynthesis and biological productivity.
