Climate is a particular place's distance from the equator
The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful
radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our
planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone”
which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs
most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
In general, the quantity of heat energy, Q, required to raise a mass m kg of a substance with a specific heat capacity of <span>c </span>J/(kg °C), from temperature t1 °C to t2 °C is given by:
<span>Q </span>= <span>mc(t</span><span>2 </span><span>– t</span>1<span>) joules</span>
<span>So:</span>
(t2-t1) =Q / mc
<span>As we know:
Q = 500 J </span>
<span>m = 0.4 kg</span>
<span>c = 4180 J/Kg </span>°c
<span>We can take t1 to be 0</span>°c
t2 - 0 = 500 / ( 0.4 * 4180 )
t2 - 0 = 0.30°c
This is due to earths location in the solar system. Earth is in the habitat zone or the Goldie locks zone, in this zone it's not too hot or not too cold for water to exist. Other planets in different star systems have liquid oceans due to them being in the habitat zone.
