Some scientists say it is because of global warming. global warming is caused by what is believed to be us polluting the atmosphere. When we pollute the atmosphere with smoke, and gas, and other harmful things, it traps the heat from the sun which makes it feel hotter. Imagine it like the Earth covered up with a blanket. When you get hot, you would want to take the blanket off. Well, the Earth cannot take off that blanket when it gets hot. It just keeps getting hotter and hotter. Have you ever been in a greenhouse? If you have, you would know it is very hot. The Earth's atmosphere is like a greenhouse. It takes in the sun heat and traps it inside. Of course our atmosphere releases some heat to make the atmosphere at a moderate temperature and not boiling hot. Global warming is making the Earth much warmer and when the air gets more heated up, the atmosphere doesn't release enough to keep it at that normal temperature.
What else can I help you with?
A beach towel is laying on the sand in the sun Why does the sand feel hotter to touch than the towel?
The sand has a higher conductivity.
Does it feel hotter in high altitudes?
At higher altitudes, the air is less dense and contains fewer molecules to trap heat, so it can feel colder rather than hotter. However, the sun's rays can still feel more intense due to less atmosphere to scatter them, making it feel warmer in direct sunlight.
Which is hotter 20C or 20F?
20°C is hotter than 20°F. 20°C is equivalent to 68°F.
Why do hot and humid summer days feel hotter than hot and dry summer days?
The evaporation of your perspiration is lessened when there is high humidity, making it more difficult for the body to cool itself off. It is not the act of sweating that cools you off, but the evaporation of the sweat.

Are solar rays hotter than the rest of the suns atmosphere?
The sun's corona has a temperature of 1,799,540 to 5,399540 Fahrenheit, which is significantly hotter than solar rays - the Sun's solar radiation is said to have a temperature of about 9980 Fahrenheit.
What is hotter than the sun gamma ray or plasma?
Gamma rays are typically hotter than plasma. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while plasma is a state of matter where atoms have been stripped of their electrons. Gamma rays can have temperatures reaching billions of degrees, while plasma temperatures are typically in the millions of degrees.
How do use solar in a sentence?

A beach towel is laying on the sun why does the sad feel hotter to touch than than the towel?
The sand feels hotter to touch than the towel because sand has a lower heat capacity than the towel, which means it heats up faster when exposed to the sun. This is why the sand can feel hotter even when they are both under the same sun.
What star gives off harmful UV rays?
Everything hotter than a red giant produces some UV radiation.
How are oblique rays different from vertical rays?
Obviously the angle of incidence is different. The oblique rays spread their energy over a larger area of the surface than vertical (also called perpendicular or normal rays)
