Answer:
it depends on the position of the planet and its tilt axis. kinda like our planet earth, the equator receives the most solar radiation than both the Northern and southern hemispheres due to the earth's tilted position. and im sure you know this already but, the closer you are from a solar radiator, the more you receive its radiation. so i guess distance plays a vital role on that topic.
