What are the some of the factors that determine daily fluctuation of air temperature just above the ground?
There are many factors that determine the daily fluctuation of air temperature just above the ground. One factor is the wind.
What replaces heated air at the equator?
Cool Air! As the heated air rises the heated air starts getting cool. This is because the higher the air is the colder it gets. Then the heated air will be replaced with cold air. As the cold air then comes down near the ground the cool air will become heated because of the sun. Heated Air - Cool Air - Cold Air And On And On It Goes
Why is no dew formed on a windy day or when sky is cloudy?
Dew forms when the air just above the ground is cooled to its dew point (a temperature at which the water dissolved in the air comes out of the air). The air above the ground is cooled because the ground radiates heat into space. If there are clouds overhead the clouds reflect the heat back to the ground so it does not cool and o dew forms. If it is windy then the air just above the ground keeps on getting mixed with the air higher up and the air does not cooled to the dew point and no dew forms. Thus to form dew you need a still clear night.
Is the temperature of the air high above the ground above or below 0?
ABOVE
What is movement of air from sea to land during day when cooler air from above the the water moves over the land forcing heated less dense air above to rise is called?
Land Breeze
What is a column of hot air?
When sunlight strikes the earth, the ground is heated, warming the air above it, this air expands, reducing its density and it is forced upward by the denser surrounding (colder) air. While the ground continues to be heated a continous column of heated, rising air is produced.
Where is the air hottest in the desert?
The air is hottest just above the ground.

A measured increase in air temperature just above the ground is known as?
Radiation Inversion
What is the balloons air that makes it go up?
heated air rises, so it's usually just air w/some type of heater above basket
What happen when air gets heated?
As air (unconfined), is heated its volume increases, and its density decreases. That makes it lighter (per volume) than it was. Warm air will rise above colder air, and in essence, float on top of the colder air.

What direction does air above a heated surface move?
in a upward motion
When the land gets hot it heats the air above it the heated air rises because it?
because its evaporating
Is the temperature of the air high above the ground above or below 0?
ABOVE
Where does the atom bomb explode on the air or on the ground?
In the air above the target
