5. Is all of Earth warmed at the same amount? EXPLAIN: NO, Earth is shaped like a sphere or a ball. The angle of sunlight.

6.  Does sunlight always have the same amount of heat energy? Yes

7.  4. How does the different angle of the sunlight affect the amount of energy Earth receives.  The more focused the beam of sunlight is the hotter it is and since Earth is shaped like a sphere the beam of light hits Earth at different angles.

16.  8. What is air pressure? The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it.

17.  9. In what units is air pressured measured? Kilograms per square centimeters or pounds per square inch.

18.  10. How much of the Suns' energy is absorbed or reflected by Earth’s surface? Absorbed 50%  Reflected—5%
