13 What Season?

14 Shadows Point north Get shorter when the sun is higher
Longer when sun is lower

15 Relationships As intensity of insolation inc, temp___
As angle of insolation inc, temp_____ As angle inc, shadow length______ As latitude increases, intensity/angle of insolation____ As the sun goes from A to B to C, what happens to Intensity of insolation?
