As latitude increases, the intensity of solar radiation typically decreases due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. At higher latitudes, sunlight arrives at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing its intensity. Additionally, the atmosphere at higher latitudes can lead to increased scattering and absorption of sunlight, further diminishing the energy received. Consequently, regions closer to the poles generally receive less solar energy compared to those near the equator.
