Uneven Heating of Earth

Earth's gravity

Earth's revolution around the Sun

Earth's curvature (it's round)

Because the Earth's is made of rocks

Because it provides light and heat necessary for survival

Because it is the largest planet in our solar system

Because it controls the tides directly

Because it is the only star in the universe

Earth's tilt, rotation, and distribution of heat

Only the Earth's tilt

Only the Earth's rotation

Only the distribution of heat

The sun’s rays hit the surface of the earth at the same angles

all surfaces retain energy the same

all surfaces warm at the same rates

the sun’s rays hit the surface of the earth at different angles

Radiation

Conduction

Convection

Evaporation
