Using the data in Figure 6.1 and the graph provided below, plot data for specific latitudes for the first of each month. The graph you create will enable you to note the changes throughout the year in the amount of insolation received at a given latitude. Compare the differences in annual insolation patterns at various latitudes. Plot all seven latitudes on one graph, using color pencils to distinguish each. (Be sure to include a legend.)

• North Pole (started on the graph with a blue line and xs)
• New York (started on the graph; with a red line and dots)
• Tropic of Cancer
• Equator
• South Pole
