Which area of earth receives the most solar radiation?
Question:
Answer:
are you looking for an average over time (like a yearly average)? => the equator.
or an instantaneous maximum? it would depend on the time of year (whatever area is perpendicular to the sun's rays)
or are you looking for a hole in the atmosphere (like the ozone hole over Antarctica) where less solar radiation is reflected back into space?
the equator
The area between the tropics, because sun rays strike vertically at about 90° at noon, and that is true all year long. There are no seasons there (only wet and dry season).
the Ionosphere.
.. I consider the atmoshpere part of Earth.
