Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

thermopause: outer boundary of Earth's energy system, the region at the top of the atmosphere (approx. 480 km); insolation: incoming solar radiation; solar constant: average insolation received at the thermopause when Earth is at its average distance from the Sun (1372 W/m2); Subsolar point: the only point where insolation arrives perpendicular to the surface.
