Ice Caps and Ice Belts: The Effects of Obliquity on Ice-Albedo Feedback

Planetary obliquity plays a crucial role in determining the meridional distribution of annual mean insolation. When obliquity exceeds 55°, the weakest insolation occurs at the equator. On such a planet, stable partial snow and ice cover would form a belt around the equator rather than polar caps. Let’s delve into the details:…
