Explaining this phenomenon, Seiji Kato, an atmospheric scientist at NASA who was not involved in the study,that high-altitude locations above the water vapor layer and with fewer clouds and aerosols inevitably receive more sunshine.
It notes that over the first five years of measurements, the Altiplano region received the highest-known amount of sunlight on Earth, averaging 308 watts per square meter—the highest worldwide. Lead study author Raul Cordero, a climatologist at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, revealed the astonishing comparison: standing on Venus during its summer would be akin to experiencing this intense radiation.
