Why does air temperature vary over time within a day?
Why does air temperature vary over time within a day?
- Because of the Earth's spherical shape spreading solar radiation differently
- Mainly due to the Earth's axis being tilted at an angle of 23.5°
- As a result of the Earth's rotation on its own axis (correct)
- Due to variations in the Earth's revolution around the sun

During midday, why is the air temperature generally higher compared to before and after midday?
- Experiencing longwave radiation at its peak
- Being shielded from solar radiation by the moon
