Why is noon hotter than morning?
Advertisements
Solution
Noon is hotter than morning because, by noon, the Sun has had more time to directly heat the Earth's surface, and the sunlight is more intense when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky. In the morning, the Sun's rays are spread over a larger area, causing the temperature to be lower. Additionally, the Earth's surface has had time to warm up throughout the day.
