Understanding Weather, Climate, and Earth's Energy Balance

Explore fundamental concepts in meteorology and climatology, including air humidity comparisons between Milton and Maine Lander, the reason behind the blue sky, types of heat transfer, and the fraction of infrared radiation that escapes into space. Learn about the Earth's position during perihelion and aphelion, and discover why valleys are colder on calm, clear nights. This comprehensive guide covers essential atmospheric science topics critical for understanding our planet's climate dynamics.
