How does the temperature of the air a few feet ABOVE THE GROUND compare to the temperature RIGHT AT THE GROUND?

• Air just above the ground remains the same temperature as the the air at the ground.

• Air just above the ground is at a cooler temperature than the air at the ground.

• Air just above the ground is at a warmer temperature than the air at the ground.

When Sunlight reaches the ground,

• the temperature of the ground increases.

• the temperature of the ground decreases.

• the temperature of the ground stays the same.

• the ground reflects all the light.
