temperature fluctuations

Temperature fluctuations are changes in the air or surface temperature caused by natural and environmental factors. These can occur daily, seasonally, or over longer periods, influenced by sunlight, weather patterns, geographical features, and human activities. For example, the sun warms the Earth during the day, causing temperature rises, while at night, less sunlight results in cooling. Weather systems like storms or cold fronts can also temporarily alter temperatures. These fluctuations are normal parts of the climate system, reflecting the dynamic balance between heat absorption, retention, and loss within the atmosphere and surface.
