This desert plainlocated at 4,000 meters above sea level, receives more sunlight than Everest, the highest mountain in the world. One study revealed that, at times, it is even comparable to what would be experienced in the planet Venuslocated closer to the Sun than the Earth.
Las regions of the southern hemisphere of the Earthlike South America, are already beginning to experience more heat with the beginning of summer and one inevitably wonders where on the planet the Sun’s rays are felt most intensely during the day. Although one might believe that this occurs in the summit of Everestin the Himalayas, the highest place in the world and therefore the most vulnerable to radiation, this answer is incorrect.
From a study with satellite information, it has been discovered that the point that receives the most solar radiation in the world it is found in South America. A fact that surprised the researchers who made the discovery is that this can even be equal to that of Venusa planet that is 61 million kilometers closer to the Sun than the Earth.
