What are the differences between the sun and the Earth?
Differences include mass; temperature; energy production; density; composition (percentage of elements).
What can you expect anytime temperature differences occur?
energy movement from higher temperature regions
Is weather energy?
No, not in itself. Weather is the result of energy. The energy involved comes from the sun. As there are temperature differences, there are differences in pressure, and wind is produced. Heat and wind are energy, and both come from the energy of the sun and the rotation of the earth. Cold is the absence of sun, wind indirectly comes from the sun, and rain is the result of evaporation and condensation which also involve the sun.
Why does the temperature of a planet vary with the distance from the Sun?
The main reason why a planet's temperature can vary due to its distance from the Sun is because less solar radiation will reach it. But there can be numerous factors that influence a planet's temperature regardless of its distance from the Sun. The main influence being the atmosphere. I.e. Venus is further from the Sun than Mercury, but is the hottest planet in the solar system because its atmosphere traps carbon dioxide causing a runaway green house affect. Some planets reflect the Sun's rays from their atmosphere or surface. The amount with which this occurs is called albedo. Enceladus has the highest albedo known, and is colder than Saturn, the planet it orbits.
Are helium atoms on the sun and on earth likely to have the same physical properties?
Helium atoms have the same physical properties regardless of whether they are found on the Sun or on Earth. The properties of an element, such as its atomic number and mass, remain constant regardless of its location. However, the environment in which helium atoms exist can affect their behavior, such as temperature and pressure differences, which could influence their physical interactions.
What gives wind its energy?
From changes and or differences in temperature and pressure, ultimately, caused by regional differences in distances from the sun and a continuous change in distance from the sun as the globe spins.Wind is created as the pressure or temperature changes.
What is the ultimate cause of all weather?
The sun, which drives temperature differences across the globe and subsequently, differences in pressure.
What best describes the movement of matter due to the temperature differences in the sun?
Parallax
What term describes the movement of matter due to the temperature differences in the sun?
radition

How the energy in waves originally came from the Sun?
The energy from waves is usually caused by the wind; the wind is caused by temperature differences among different parts of Earth; and these temperature differences are caused by the sunlight.
What can you expect anytime temperature differences occur?
energy movement from higher temperature regions
What are the factors that influence salinaty differences?
Temperature, latitude, ocean currents, glacier( pure water) etc are the factors affecting salinity difference..

How does a forest affect temperature?
The influence of a forest on temperature. The forest can lower the surface temperature on the surface during the season. The cool surface temperature allows for the growth of some vegetation that would not grow in the unprotected heat of the sun.
Would there be any temperature differences between the side of the moon facing the sun and the side away from the sun?
The difference is great. Even on Earth, there is a temperature difference whether you're in the sun, or not, or before and after sunrise/sunset. On the moon, there is no atmosphere, so the temperature difference is great. The temperature can range up to 280 Celsius above down to -250 Celsius--close to absolute zero.
