(A) Yes,it is true that there is more solar energy available in the tropics.
The tropics are located near the equator,where the sun's rays fall almost vertically throughout the year.
This results in a higher intensity of solar radiation per unit area compared to the temperate and polar regions.
Additionally,the length of the day and night remains relatively constant at the equator,providing a consistent supply of energy for photosynthesis and biological productivity.
