2. Solar radiation sending varying energy based on the angle
3. Greenhouse effect trapping part of the hot radiation of the Sun
4. Energy reflected back to space called albedo
Greenhouse effect
Makes it possible to trap part of the hot radiation of the Sun, preventing much lower temperatures with great variation between night and day
The heat from the Sun is preserved in ocean water and air masses
Rotation of the Earth and changes in inclination of the Earth on its axis
Put in motion air and water masses, leading to temperature exchanges between north and south
Composition of the atmosphere
Allows part of the heat provided by the sun to be naturally preserved, creating a natural greenhouse effect
If the density of the atmosphere decreases (due to altitude), the capacity to conserve heat decreases, explaining why it is colder in high mountains (average loss of 1°C/160 m)
