They’re finding now that the biggest contributor to temperature changes on earth, is actually… drum roll… the sun. Surprise. It’s actually pretty neat: the energy put out by the sun creates an atmosphere like envelope around the earth and other planets (how many, I don’t know).
Anyhow, this envelope protects the earth from various objects flying through space, and, I think, bursts of energy from other stars. Well, because the sun is just a prolonged explosion, there are variations in the temperature coming from the sun, guess what it does? It heats up the earth, then when that particular burst dies down, the earth down.
Shocking, I know. It hardly makes sense. lol. But when you really think about it, it’s amazing that there is any life on earth at all. When you consider that there is a variation in temperature that is at the most 150 degrees on earth at any given time (that’s just an approximation, not hard fact). And when you look at planets like Mars, where the temperature variance between night and day is 300+ degrees, this piddley average of 10 deg difference between 1973 and now, is laughable. :shrug:
s'what I read on a cereal box anyway.
