What is earth surface temperature?

At Vostok Station in the Antarctic, located at the 'pole of inaccessibility' the daily mean is about -55oC. This spot, farthest from the coast of Antarctica, also has the record for the lowest surface temperature. But where you and I live, the mean surface temperature is likely to be a few degrees C. The highest mean is either the Afar depression in Africa, or Death Valley in the USA.

What are some of earths sphere interactions that result in your own daily activites?

Earth's spheres interact in numerous ways that influence my daily activities. For example, the atmosphere affects weather patterns, which determine how I dress and plan outdoor activities. The hydrosphere provides water for drinking and cooking, while the lithosphere offers resources like food grown in soil. Additionally, the biosphere, encompassing all living organisms, impacts my diet and health through the food I consume.

Why does atmospheric pressure start to decrease around midnight when with the temperature decrease pressure should increase?

The reason for temperature being lower in high altitude regions (as compared to places at sea-level) is due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure as we go up in altitude. So decrease in atmospheric pressure causes the temperature to decrease, which might be a reason for the decreased pressure at night. --- Diurnal temperature fluctuations vary by location, but follow a twice-daily cycle of general rise and fall, corresponding to the "atmospheric tide" induced by the eastward rotation of the planet.

What are the causes of daily variations in temperature on a planets surface?

Daily variations in temperature on a planet's surface are primarily caused by the rotation of the planet on its axis, which leads to changes in exposure to sunlight. Factors such as the planet's distance from the sun, its atmosphere, and its surface composition also play a role in determining the magnitude of temperature variations. Additionally, local geographic features such as mountains, bodies of water, and vegetation cover can influence temperature patterns.
