Directions: Record the Angle of Insolation for the following cities on the planet. You will do this measuring on a globe, calculating, and by research. cityLatitudeAngle of Insolation Dec 21 (Solstice) Angle of Insolation Mar 21 (equinox) Angle of Insolation Jun 21 (Solstice) Angle of Insolation Sept 21 (equinox) Boston, Mass. Melbourne, Australia Nairobi, Kenya Part 1: Measuring Angle of Insolation Using Globes: 1.Tape a 20 cm string from the location on the globe to the center of the bulb. 2.Tape another string to the Tropic of Cancer (Jun 21 st ) to the bulb. 3.Use a protractor to measure the angle. 4.Substract this angle from 90 to determine the angle of insolation, and record on the table below. 5.Repeat the process by calculating angle of insolation from the Tropic of Capricorm (Dec 21 st ) and the equator (Mar 21 st & Sept 21 st ). Name______________________

Part 2: Calculating the angle of insolation at noon 1.Measure the number of degrees of latitude separating that location from the latitude that is receiving direct vertical rays (90°). Record as “Relative Latitude”, and be sure to pay attention to N or S. 2.Then subtract that value from 90° to calculate the angle of insolation.
