solar heating

On Earth, the unique combination of oxygen, nitrogen and other gases, combined with the effects of gravity and solar heating, create a certain density of molecules that carries sound as we know it.

Using climate model simulations, they were able to show how the increased anthropogenic emission of aerosols from Asia, which shields the solar heating and cools the Earth's climate, reduces the AMOC's movements.

Our star’s path across the sky is low, the days are shorter, and solar heating is minimal.

The outburst may result from a rare case of icy volcanism on a comet—uncorked by solar heating of volatile gases trapped under cometary crusts.

More than 90 percent of the excess warming that results from the planetary energy imbalance, in which more solar heating enters the Earth’s system than escapes again to space, winds up in the ocean, the researchers say.
