Explain why cities situated by the ocean tend to have less extreme temperatures than inland cities at the same latitude.
The Earth cools off at night much more quickly when the weather is clear than when cloudy. Why?

(a) Estimate the total power radiated into space by the Sun, assuming it to be a perfect emitter at \(T = 5500\;{\rm{K}}\). The Sun’s radius is \({\bf{7 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}{\bf{8}}}\;{\bf{m}}\). (b) From this, determine the power per unit area arriving at the Earth, away \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.5 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}{{\bf{11}}}}\;{\bf{m}}\) (Fig. 14–20).
