  • Satellites and weather stations take measurements all the time from all over the world. They tell us the temperature is rising.
  • The fact that glaciers, ice caps and sea ice is melting is an indication.

Why is winter solstice not the coldest time of year?

Earth is getting colder at that time. It does not immediately start getting warmer once the winter solstice is passed. It can be up to a month later, before it begins, so the month after a winter solstice is cold. For the summer, it is the same, in that the Earth keeps getting warmer for a time after the summer solstice, so the warmest temperatures are after the summer solstice, before the cooling process starts.


What is the causing of the ice caps melting?

Global warming, also known that the sun is melting them. sense we are being pulled toward the sun, the earth is getting warmer.


Why are the tropics not continually getting warmer?

The climate of the Earth is constantly changing, going from glacier-covered ice ages to warm periods called "interglacials". 1000 years ago, the glacier-covered island of Greenland used to be the home of Viking dairy farmers; it was a lot warmer then. Then the weather got a lot colder, and the ice covered the island. For the last 150 years, it's been getting warmer again, and it is now nearly as warm as in Viking times. But we really don't know WHY things change as they do, and we cannot be sure when the cycle will reverse itself and start getting colder.


Does the temperature usually get cooler or warmer as you get closer to equator?

The temperature gets hotter as you get closer to the equator and colder as you leave the equator. This has to do with how the sun's rays hit earth.

Why is the Earth getting warmer?

The Earth is getting warmer primarily due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to a gradual increase in global temperatures, known as global warming.


Is the Earth REALLY getting hotter?

Yes, the Earth's average temperature is rising due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This leads to global warming, resulting in changes to the climate and environment. Many scientific studies and observations support this trend of increasing temperatures on Earth.


Why is it usually warmer during the day when the sky is clear and not cloudy?
