If you have ever taken a long trip, you may have noticed the can be quite different in different parts of the country. For example, if you travel from Detroit to Miami in December, you may need a large suitcase.

The and ice of a Detroit winter may mean you wear boots and a onto the plane, but by the you get to Miami, you will be ready for a swimsuit and shorts! The reason for the difference in is that Detroit and Miami have very different climates.

Many factors, such as elevation, ocean currents, distance from the sea, and prevailing winds, can affect the of an area. One of the most important things that influences , though, is . The of an area indicates how far it is - north or south - of the equator.

affects because it is related to the length and intensity of sunlight an area receives. As Earth orbits the sun, sometimes the Northern Hemisphere is tipped toward the Sun, while at other times the Southern Hemisphere is tipped toward the Sun.

When a is closer to the Sun, its days are longer, and the Sun's rays are stronger and more direct. When our hemisphere is tipped toward the Sun, we experience warmer and longer days. This is our summer. When we tip away from the Sun, the days are shorter and colder. This is winter.

But none of this explains why Detroit and Miami would have such different on the same day in the same month, does it? Actually... it does!

Miami is much closer to the equator than Detroit. This means the tipping of the hemispheres has less extreme effects on Miami than Detroit. Because Miami is closer to the equator, it receives a lot of sunlight and warmth all year long and thus maintains a warm .

NASA scientists are very interested in learning how clouds affect our atmosphere. It is the clouds, in part, that affect the overall temperature and energy balance of the Earth. The more we know about clouds, the more we will know about our Earth as a system. And YOU can help by sending NASA your observations!

NASA S'COOL has now joined forces with the Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Program creating a larger community of cloud observers across 120+ countries.

If you are new to GLOBE:

Citizen Science Observations can be submitted through the GLOBE Observer app.

The S'COOL Citizen Science option continues to be available here if you are not able to submit cloud observations through GLOBE.

The buttons to the right will walk you through each participation step! We welcome participation from any interested observers, especially from places where official weather observations are few and far between.

By using a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, students will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining. They will then work to design solutions for ways of making fisheries more sustainable for the animals and the people who depend on them.

In this inquiry-based activity, students test different materials to see which is best to clean up an oil spill.

Explore seaweed and learn about this important producer in this hands-on, culinary activity!

What is ocean acidification, and who is affected by it? Engage your students in a mock conference on the issue.

Ever wonder what 38,000 animals are up to after dark?
