Earth’s average temperature

Earth's average temperature is a measure of the overall warmth of our planet, determined by analyzing global air and surface temperatures over time. It reflects the balance between the energy received from the sun and the energy Earth radiates back into space. This average temperature, approximately 15°C (59°F), is influenced by natural factors and human activities, such as greenhouse gas emissions, which can cause warming. Understanding Earth's average temperature helps scientists monitor climate change, assess environmental impacts, and develop strategies to protect ecosystems and human well-being.
