At which lattitude, heat gain through insolation approximately...

At which lattitude, heat gain through insolation approximately equals beat loss through terrestrial radiation?

Options

  1. A2212∘22 \frac{1}{2}^{\circ} North and South
  2. B40∘40^{\circ} North and South
  3. C4212∘42 \frac{1}{2}^{\circ} North and South
  4. D66∘66^{\circ} North and South.

Correct answer

D. 66∘66^{\circ} North and South.

Step-by-step solution

The latitude at which heat gain through insolation approximately equals heat loss through terrestrial radiation is at (66^{\circ}) North and South. At these latitudes, near the poles, there is a balance between the heat received from the Sun (insolation) during the day and the heat radiated away from the Earth's surface during the night, resulting in a relatively stable temperature regime. This is one of the factors contributing to the formation of the polar climates. So, the correct option is ((D): 66^{\circ}) North and South
