Answer:
City B will have the highest annual range of temperature
Explanation:
City B will have a higher annual temperature than city A. <u>It is because the northern hemisphere is mainly covered with landmasses but the southern hemisphere is mostly covered by the water body</u>. So there is <u>more absorption of heat on the ground surface and the landmass area</u>. The oceans when heated it reflects some heat energy back into the atmosphere, and some of it is transferred to the land area by the sea breeze.
These events ultimately lead to an increase in the heat amount in the northern hemisphere.
The average temperature of Earth given the solar irradiance is 238.4K.
<h3>How to calculate the temperature?</h3>
The following can be deduced from the information:
Let Earth's albedo =α =0.33
Radius of sun ( Rs) =6.955×10⁵
Value of Boltzmann constant= 5.67×10-⁸
L= 1350
T = average temperature
L= 4σ (Te)⁴ / (1-α)
1 - 0.33 = 4 × 5.67×10-⁸×(T)⁴ / 1350
0.67 × 1350 = 0.0000002268*(T)⁴
(T)⁴ = 3230357142.9
T = 238.4 k
In conclusion, the temperature is 238.4K.
<u>Complete question:</u>
Calculate the average temperature of Earth where the solar irradiance (L) is 1350W/m² and the albedo of Earth is 0.33. Consider Earth to be a perfect black body and the Stefan - Bollzmann constant to be 5.67 × 10^-8 W.
