Answer 2

Answer:

This is because the period before the time of tar and the months of July and August were the times when solar radiation hit the earth with the most intensity.

Explanation:

Summer is the solar season where solar radiation is most strongly received from the earth, as is noon, where solar radiation hits our planet most intensely. Moments that pass after noon (afternoon time) and months after summer (July and August) continue to receive solar radiation at high intensity and this explains why these moments are so hot.
