What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar regions?
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
Is methane in the atmosphere?
Methane is in the atmosphere. It is in very small concentrations and is a byproduct of nature.
Why doesn't Florida have more violent tornadoes?
The strength of a tornado depends on the strength of the thunderstorm that produces it. The strength of a thunderstorm is affected by instability, which in simple terms involves cool air over a warm lower atmosphere. Florida is a semi-tropical area where the upper atmosphere is warmer than in other regions, leading to less instability an thunderstorms that are generally weaker than their counterparts in Tornado Alley.
What condition must be present for a thunderstorm to form?
First there must be an abundant source of moisture in the lower levels of the atmosphere,Next there has to be some mechanism must lift the air so that the moisture can condense and release latent heat.Last the portion of the atmosphere through which the air continue to cool with increasing altitude for the growing cloud to stay warmer than the surrounding air.
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?
colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature
Why are lower latitudes so warm?
They are warmer because they are farther away from the atmosphere, which is colder. That is why it is SO cold on planes.
Why does thermal energy only move from the warmer object to the cooler object?
Because according to the second law of thermodynamics, energy spontaneously spreads from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.

Why do thunderstorms least come at night?
Thunderstorms are drieven by a conditions ccalled instability which, in basic terms, occurs when the lower atmosphere becomes warmer while the upper atmosphere remains cooler. At night the lower atmosphere cools as heat is radiated into space, which tends to stabilize the atmosphere, and make it harder for thunderstorms to form.

Under what condition does air flow goes in to the lungs?
when pressure inside the lungs is lower then outer atmosphere

Is the lower the temperature the warmer it is on Fahrenheit?
No.
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is heated by the ground, which is heated by sunlight.
