An inversion is produced whenever radiation from the surface of the earth exceeds the amount of radiation received from the sun, which commonly occurs at night, or during the winter when the angle of the sun is very low in the sky
In the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere closest to the earth) temperature as a general rule decreases with altitude. That is, the higher up in the air, or the higher up in the mountains, the colder the air becomes. A temperature inversion is a reversal of this general rule, such that the temperature at the surface is colder than the air above it, or the temperature at some altitude increases for a certain vertical distance. On a clear winter night, the earth may lose heat since there are no clouds to absorb heat and hold it near to the surface; in the morning when the sun warms the air a temperature inversion may result. - pianodriver

What might be sparse on a dark winter day?
What might be sparse on a dark winter day is not a lot of people outside
Which element is a liquid at room temperature?
There are two elements which are liquid at room temperature and they are Mercury (Hg) and Bromine (Br). Copernicium (Cn) might be liquid at room temperature but chemists are not sure about it.
What is the proper humidity and temperature for the house?
40 to 50% is a good guideline. In very cold weather it might be better to go lower to avoid condensation on windows.
How might sudden cold front limit population growth of newborn offspring?
Winter
What is he temperature of the center of the Earth?
the cores temperature cannot be measured. It might be around 7000 degree celsius or maybe even more :) !
What is the winter solstice and how does it affect earth's temperature in the northern hemisphere?
It is when the day is the shortest in the year. It really shouldn't affect temperature(except it might be cold be cause it is winter!)
Do salt water pool freeze over in winter?
yes depending on the temperature it might freeze completely
How might a valley produce a microclimate?
Anabatic and katabatic winds, a temperature inversion, a meteorological phenomena such as a fohn wind. rain shadow effect, shelter from wind, blocking out sunlight therefore reducing temperature, pedology which can create different heat capacities which make a small scale microclimate.
Why might you wear shorts in the winter?
This is not a clear question but you have to stay cool so when you run you don't get too hot, like in cross-country etc
Does wind lower temperature?
um.... sometimes, but i guess it depends on if the wind is a cold breeze or a warm wind but in winter ya it would be cold but no it does not lower temperature it might give you chills though?!?! justinbieber4eva!!!
What are seasonal variations in climate?
Seasonal variations in climate mean that a region is subject to vast temperature changes during the summer and winter months. It might mean that a region receives snow in the winter and rain in the summer. The winter could be very cold and the summer very warm.
How do you carfe for a trampoline over the winter months?
Just clear the snow off after it snows but don't use a shovel it might rip it. Trampolines are rust-proff so no worries
Would regular use of an inversion table actually reduce your back pain from bulging discs?
Yes, regular use of an inversion table might actually reduce your back pain. It could also irritate this so you would just have to experiment.
How do you keep your guniea pigs warm through the winter?
most guniea pigs actually like the cold but be carful that the temperature doesnt change to quickly or they might die
What the temperature in the Amazon in September?
The temperature in the Amazon is about 24C-28C all year round. Most locations have very little seasonal differences too (the temperature might range 1C-3C on average). A good *rough* estimate for summer temperature might be 27C and winter 25C. But keep in mind that temperatures will vary by location and the Amazon is a mighty big place!
How might the plasma membrane of a plant cell change in response to the cold temperature of winter?
The plant cells membrane will solidify and the stomata may close in order to hold the plants nutrients.
What does controlling variables mean in science?
When you are performing an experiment, you want to change only one variable at a time. Let us say that you would like to know how different temperature affect the speed at which mushrooms grow. If you only alter the temperature then the interpretation of the experimental results will be clear. If you alter the temperature and also alter the amount of water (for example) then the interpretation of the results will no longer be clear, since the results might have been caused by the temperature, or by the water, or even by the combined effect of the temperature and water. Therefore, you control your variables.
