Likewise, people ask, what factors other than latitude exert a strong influence on temperature?
Factors other than latitude that exert a strong influence on temperature include heating of land and water, altitude, geographic position, cloud cover, and ocean currents.
Also Know, why does the Southern Hemisphere have smaller annual temperature variations than the northern hemisphere? Heating of land and water, altitude, geographic position, cloud cover, ocean currents. Land heats more rapidly and cools more rapidly than water. Why does the southern hemisphere have smaller annual temperature variations than the northern hemisphere? There is more water in the southern hemisphere and less land.
Also know, how does altitude affect temperature?
As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) and the temperature decreases. If the humidity is at 100 percent (because it's snowing), the temperature decreases more slowly with height.
Do clouds have the same effect on temperatures during the night as they do during the day?
Secondly, clouds also have an important effect on Earth's temperature. But it's a bit complicated: Clouds can both cool down and warm up the temperatures on Earth. Clouds can block light and heat from the Sun, making Earth's temperature cooler. At night, when there's no sunlight, clouds are still trapping heat.
