| Explain using words or a labeled diagram what happens to the sun’s energy when it reaches Earth. | Heat is either absorbed into the Earth or reflected back to the atmosphere. |
| Describe the effect of surface temperature on the air above the surface. | Air takes on the temperature of the surface that it is directly above. |
