Question

Place the two thermometers outdoors in different locations. Place one in direct sunlight and the other in shade. Make sure that the thermometers are in a secure location so they will not fall or blow away. Do you think that there will be a difference in temperature between these two locations over a period of one week? Write down your prediction.

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

There would be a difference in temperature between the two places over the time interval.

What is temperature?

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body. It is measured  using a thermometer as described in the set up.

Temperature changes is a result of heat transfer.

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for the earth.

It transfers heat to the earth by radiation.

Under a shade, the tree leaves or shed will cut off the radiation preventing it from reaching the surface. This place will be cool and at a lower temperature than expected.

The thermometer furnished with direct sunlight will have a higher temperature. As the radiation from sun hits the surface, it causes it to warm up and increase in temperature. This will cause the thermometer's temperature to also rise.
