The amount of insolation received varies from latitude to latitude. The Regions within the equator and 40° N and S latitudes are energy surplus regions because they receive abundant sunlight and hence more heat will be gained than lost.The Regions beyond 40° N and S latitudes are energy deficit regions because they lose more heat than that gained from sunlight.
The Stratosphere is the layer of the Earth’s atmosphere which lies beyond the troposphere. It extends up to an altitude of 50 kilometres from the earth’s surface. This layer is almost free from clouds and associated weather phenomenon. It therefore makes conditions most ideal for flying aeroplanes.
