Married To The Sun

Everyone knows that the sun has the power to make the daytime air warmer than the air in the middle of the evening. That's evidence of sun-driven temperature change on a single day. Any climate-changing powers demonstrated by the sun on a single day can be extrapolated over a year or a century or over a million years, and credited with having the same profound effects on a macro scale.

If the appearance of the sun in the sky can change the temperature by 30 degrees in a single day, then it is obvious that the relation of the sun to the earth's temperature is critical at all times. Any change in the earth's orbit or change in the sunspot cycles or change in the sun's magnetic field has consequences for the earth.The sun and the earth are married when it comes to the climate. The sun is married to all the other planets in our solar system as well, which is why solar-driven temperature trends can be measured on other planets, and they correlate with ours.
