Latitude is the primary factor that affects the amount of solar energy that reaches any point on Earth’s surface. This is the reason why some areas of the earth are warmer than the other sunny vs cold. Also when sunlight hits Earth’s surface at an angle smaller than 90 degree, the energy is spread out over larger area and is less intense. Temperature varies seasonally because of the tilt of Earth’s axis.

Land areas close to large bodies of water generaly have more moderate temperatures. Wind patterns also affect temperatures. A region that receives winds off oceans waters has more moderate temperatures than other regions with similar wind s blown from land. The reason for these moderate temperatures is because the water heater up and cools down slower that the land does.

The sun's radiation doesn't heat all of earth at the same time. Earth needs time to absorb and re-radiate the heat from the ground to change the temperature of the atmosphere. Solar radiation is most intense at noon, that is why the warmest hours of the day are mid-to late afternoon.

a condition called temperature inversion is when the layering of warm air is on top of cool air. Warm air which is less dense than cool air can trap the cool air. Which can pollute air beneath it

When energy gets on earth's surface it, it can be either absorbed or reflected. "The amount of energy that is absorbed or reflected depends on the characteristics such as the color,texture,composition,volume,mass,transparency,state of matter and specific heat of the material.The intensity and amount of time the radiation reaches the material also affects the reflection and absorbtion. "The fraction of solar radiation that is reflected by particular surface called albedo."

molecules in a substance move faster as they become heated. as more molecules become faster they hit one another called collisions. collisions result in the transfer of energy. air is a poor conductor of because of how far apart the molecules are, good conductors need closer spaced molecules.

Radiation travels through space in the form of waves at a very high speed at approximately 300,000 km/s. There are other forms of radiation that we cant see such as ultraviolet light, x-rays, and radio waves. The waves that make up all forms of radiation are called electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of the complete range of wavelengths of electromagnetic waves.

Convection

Convection is the process by which air, or other matter, rises or sinks because of differences in temperature. Convection also occurs when gases or liquids are heated unevenly. Warm air exerts less pressure than cooler air . As dense,cool air is pushed upward. These pressure differences,which are the result of the unequal hearing that causes convection, create winds.

Earths atmosphere slows down the escape of energy that radiates from earth surface. This is similar to a greenhouse and that’s where this gets its name. The greenhouse effect can be good because it helps the earth keep warm so we don’t freeze but as humans cause more pollution it makes the greenhouse effect intensify which makes the earth get hotter and hotter over time.

1. Average temperatures are higher near the equator than near the poles.

scattering occurs when particles and gas molecules in the atmosphere reflects and bend the solar rays.
deflection causes the rays to travel out in all directions without  changing their wave lengths.
scattering makes the sky appear blue and makes the sun  appear red at sunrise and sunset.
scattering sends some of the radiations back into space.

Absorption of thermal energy comes from the ground heat which hears the lower atmosphere.

# data[].attributes.body
The rays of the sun strike Earth near a 90 degree angle. At the poles, sunlight strikes the ground at a much smaller angle, so when the angle is less than 90 degrees, the energy is spread out over a larger area and is less intense. That is why the energy that reaches the equator is much more intense in comparison.

The amount of water in the air affects the temperature of the region. In area that have less water vapor and carbon dioxide so these areas are warmer in the day and colder at night. Closeness to a large body of water affects temperature too. Land close to a large body of water have more moderate temperatures. These ares will be cooler during the day and warm at night. Lastly wind affects the temperature too. Wind blowing off ocean water creates more moderate temperatures than those with wind off the land.

Scattering is a collision can occur between particles that rappel.
Scattering occurs when particles and gas molecules in the atmosphere reflect and bend the solar rays
Scattering in physics a change in the direction of motion of particle because of a collision with another particle
The results of scattering, sunlight that reaches earth surface comes from all directions
Scattering makes sky appear blue and makes the sun appear red at sunrise and the sunset

conduction is the transfer of energy as heat through a material. solid substances make good conductors. because the molecules of air are far apart , air is a poor conductor. so, conduction heats only the lowest few centimeters of the atmosphere, where air comes into direct contact with the warmed surface of earth.

The sun emits radiation. The radiation that’s not reflected is absorbed by surface materials like water, rocks or soil. The infrared rays heat the material and remit infrared rays. These rays then heat the Earths surface to be hotter than it needs to be and can create mirages.

Reflection
The amount of energy that is absorbed or reflected depends on characteristics such as the color,texture,composition,volume, mass,transparency,state of matter,and specific heat of the material on which the solar radiation falls
The solar radiation that’s is reflected by a particular surface is Called the albedo because 30% of the solar energy that reaches earths atmosphere is either reflected or scattered

The burning of fossil fuels has increased the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The increase of carbon dioxide may intensify the Greenhouse effect. It may cause earth to have warmer climates and other cold temperatures
