Document Summary
Shelters protect from sun and openings provide ventilation. At 1. 5m level, chance influences from the surface are small. As evident, large changes in temperature at the surface between day and night by less at higher elevation. Weather maps show the temperature forecast for the high temperature for the day. Goes around the globe like a wave. When it dips low it allows the cool arctic air to come down. Sharp jet stream dip ushers in cooler air. Industrialization, deforestation, and other land-use changes all have impacts. When sun high in the sky, perpendicular to earth, energy distribution over smaller area. The perihelion and aphelion are the nearest and farthest points of a body"s direct orbit. If sun low in the sky, same energy distribution over larger area around its sun. Factors that determine amount of energy received on earth-sun earth distance.
