During which month does the Sun appear to rise the highest in the sky for an observer in New York State?
(1) December (3) June
(2) September (4) MarchHigh angle of insolation = more energy = summer

Very cold climates occur at Earth’s North and South Poles because the
polar regions
(1) are usually farthest from the Sun
(2) absorb the greatest amount of insolation
(3) receive the most hours of daylight
(4) receive low-angle insolation
High latitude = low angle of insolation = less energy
