Why do basements get hot in the summer?

Basements can get hot in the summer because they are typically underground and surrounded by soil, which retains heat. Additionally, heat from the sun can penetrate through the ground and warm up the basement. Poor ventilation and insulation can also contribute to the heat buildup in basements during the summer months.

What happens if you crack an egg on the ground on a hot day?

I tried this when I was a kid. I live in an area that gets 100+ in the summer so I fried an egg on the cement one afternoon. Dirt doesn't work because it doesn't hold the heat the same way. That is one reason when an area is covered over with streets and sidewalks it gets hotter.


Why is the temperature higher in the summer months?

Note: This response is for the northern hemisphere.... In the summer, even though the earth is slightly farther away from the sun, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. This means that the amount of time that the sun is shining on the surface in a 24 hour period is longer (longer days), and it also means that the sun's rays and energy are coming more "Straight down" at us instead of coming at an angle. The combination of the longer days (meaning the sun is warming the earth for a longer time) as well as the more direct sunlight (it doesn't have to go through as much atmosphere to get to the ground) makes the temperature higher in the summer.
