Why does the earth heat uneavenly? • It moves further away from the sun • It is tilted • It has water on it • No one knows
The angle at which light hits the earth is called. . . • insolation • isolation • constallation • integration
Which gets hotter in summer • Blacktop • Concrete
Why? • The concrete has holes in it • Black asphalt reflects heat • White concrete reflects heat • White concrete absorbs heat • Black asphalt absorbs heat

Water vapor is • The amount of water in the air • The amount of water in clouds • Water in the form of ice • Water in the form of gas
Humidity is • The amount of water vapor in the air • The amount of water in clouds • The percentage of water on the earth • Stupidity with an Hm
Relative Humidity is • A dumb relative • The comparison between how much water vapor is in the air and how much water the air can hold • A mystery of God
