Question

What latitude receives the most direct solar radiation during the spring equinox?

Answer 1

During the spring equinox, which occurs around March 21st, the latitude that receives the most direct solar radiation is the equator (0 degrees latitude). On this date, the sun is positioned directly over the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths across the globe. Therefore, both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive a significant amount of solar energy, but the equator experiences the most direct sunlight at this time.
