The Earth has a blanket

1. Without the atmosphere, the temperature at night would be freezing cold / boiling hot.
2. The atmosphere is directly / indirectly warmed by the Sun.
3. The higher in the atmosphere, the higher / lower the temperature

The higher, the colder.

Temperature decreases on average by 6  ⁰C per kilometre.

The temperature at 1000 metres is 14 ⁰C.

What is the temperature at 2000 metres?


What is the temperature at 3500 metres?

The higher, the colder.

Temperature decreases on average by 6  ⁰C per kilometre.

The temperature at 1000 metres is 14 ⁰C.

What is the temperature at 2000 metres?
8 ⁰C

What is the temperature at 3500 metres?
-1 ⁰C

Average daily temperatures are used to describe the climate with.

• maximum temperature
• minimum temperature

5a + b. At what time of day is the temperature often the lowest? Explain your answer.

5c. When te maximum T is 21 degrees and the minimum T is 5 degrees. What is the average day temperature?

5d. What does the average day temperature say about the climate?

The Netherlands lies at 52⁰ N:

• Suns rays hit the Earth at an angle.

The Equator lies at 0⁰:

• Suns rays hit the Earth perpendicularly
• 3x as much Sun-energy as the poles

Because the Earth is a sphere, the angle of incidence of the Sun is different everywhere on Earth.

high Sun position

4a. The photo was taken on the beach in the Netherlands. Is it evening or morning?

Learning goals 3.3

KNOWLEDGE

• You know what the consequences are of the angled position of the Earth's axis for day and night on Earth.
• You can explain why the angled position of the Earth influences the seasons and temperature on Earth.
  

SKILLS

• You can make a drawing of the Earth with respect to the Sun for different times of the year.
  

Summary review 3.3

What have you learned?

The Earth's axis is at an angle. For the Netherlands this means:
on 21 March: Sun directly above the Equator, spring begins
on 21 June: Sun directly above Tropic of Cancer, summer begins
on 21 September: Sun directly above the Equator, autumn begins
on 21 December: Sun directly above Tropic of Capricorn, winter begins

In which month are the northern lights visible at the North Pole during the polar night?

When the Sun does not drop below the horizon, it is light 24 hours a day. This is called polar day.

December 21st

June 21st
