A desert usually has little cloud cover and high humidity that would hold in day time heating. Therefore, the desert cools quite quickly when the sun sets.

What are the moons temperatures?

Temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees C. At night, the lunar surface gets very cold, as cold as minus 173 degrees C. This wide variation is because Earth's moon has no atmosphere to hold in heat at night or prevent the surface from getting so hot during the day.


What is the temperature like at The Simpson Desert?

The Simpson Desert has a wide fluctuation of seasonal temperatures, and diurnal temperatures. In the cooler months - May to August temperatures are mild during the day, 20-25C, dropping at night often to below freezing. In the summer months temperatures can be consistently above 50C. Rainfall is generally rare, but can occur at any time of year. Whilst there are no averages, a median is around 130mm per- anum.


In which two ecosystems would the animals living there need to be able to handle a wide range of temperatures?

One has to be the arid desert; without cloud cover temperatures plummet at night. I could guess thatr the other is on the seabed; the temperature is generally freezing cold, but interupted by geothermal activity causing boiling sea-vents.


A desert shows much wider daily temperature variation than a moist environment?

Deserts have low humidity levels which allows for rapid cooling at night, resulting in wide temperature variations. In moist environments, the humidity retains heat and moderates temperature changes, leading to smaller daily temperature variations.

What is the average temperature in Saskatchewan?

Summers in Saskatchewan are as hot as winters are cold. However, colder temperatures dominate with less than half the year free from freezing temperatures. There is a wide range of variance in temperature in Saskatchewan, with incidents of January temperatures that were above freezing and July temperatures that fell below. During the winter once the cold settles in, it can remain for long durations. There have even been occasions where cold spells have settled in for several weeks at a time. In winter on average, temperature differences between night and day vary by about 10ºC. Summers in Saskatchewan bring a greater amount of variance between the average day and night temperatures, with a difference of 14ºC. Overall though temperatures are more consistent with little variation between the northern and southern portions of the province. Summers in Saskatchewan are hot, but despite the heat there is little humidity and the evenings remain cool.
