The vertical rays of the Sun give more insolation than the slanting rays.
Answer
The vertical rays of the Sun give more insolation than the slanting rays because vertical rays travel a shorter distance and heat up a smaller surface area leading to higher temperatures whereas slanting rays not only travel a longer distance, but also heat a larger area. Thus, they have less heating power.
