You have a device that takes temperature measurements and runs off of solar power. How often it is programmed to take a measurement will affect how much power it uses--more frequent measurements, more power. You have one installed at the equator and one installed in the Antarctic. During which season of the year can you set each device to take more frequent measurements

In the Equator:

As far as the temperature is concerned equator is more or less the same throughout the year, however, there are some fluctuations also, I will set this device in March and September because, in this month, the Sun is exactly over the equator and I would be able to get the more results in this month.

In Antarctic:

As far as the climatic conditions of Antarctic are concerned, it is all the same while it fluctuates in December because the Sun is very much close to Antarctic that's why I will choose this month.
