What causes your skin to feel warm when it is in the sun on a summer day?

• Particles in the atmosphere reflect energy from the Sun downward.

• Hot particles from the Sun still carry some heat when they reach your skin.

• The solar wind carries heated air from the Sun’s atmosphere to Earth’s surface.

• The Sun radiates energy that passes through space and the atmosphere to your skin.
