    Explanation:

    Equator receives less insolation than tropic due to presence of heavy cloud cover over the equator.  There is less cloud over the tropics.  As the clouds obstructs the sunlight, equator receives less insolation.

    Same is the case of oceans which have comparatively more cloud cover than continents, hence receive less insolation.
