Factors that influence the overall climate are the radiation from the Sun, the tilt of Earth's axis, the geography of the oceans and continents, the average cloud cover, and the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.
Related to the cycle of sea temperatures are the El Niño / La Niña events and the long-term changes due to Earth's orbit are called the Milankovitch cycles.

∙ 9y agoOne reason is the atmosphere, which absorbs light from the sun. Another reason are the oceans which also absorb light from the sun. The other 2 factors are the earths rotation each day and orbit around the sun, which allow hot and cold to mix an for earth to receive the same amount of energy all over.

Factors contribute to earths climate?
It's gonna be one of the following: A) latitude B)longitude) C) transport ofheat D) shape and elevation of land hint: B or D
What does not control the climate?
Its because the suns variability actually has a big impact on earths climate.
Name two factors that cause season and climate to change?
1. The position of the sun. This is the biggest factor. The suns distance and angle to the earths surface effects the temperature and climate. 2. Sea temperature. The temperature of the seas help to form storms that effect the climate. People debate whether man is effecting the climate or not.
What are the increasing greenhouse gases doing to the earths overall climate?
They are changing the climate. The increasing greenhouse gases are causing global warming, which is making the climate change. More heat is melting ice and raising sea levels. More heat is adding extra energy to storms. More heat is drying crop lands and causing famine.
What are two way that scientists can study earths climate history?
helller

Which two factors define the earths biomes?
each biome has a certain climate and organisms
What is the major abiotic factors that produce earths main climate zones?
temperarure, precipitation, and nitromonoxide
How a change in the earths orbit can affect the earths climate?
earths tempertures
Which factors determine the rate at which solar energy is received by a given area of the Earths land surface?
The factors include, Reflectivity of the area, Topography, Climate, Cloud cover, Vegetation, and Latitude.
How is earth climate today diffrent from earths climate in the past?
i dont know what is it
What does the earths tilt determine?
mostly climate
What does not control the climate?
Its because the suns variability actually has a big impact on earths climate.
