How is the temperature of the earth affected?

There are many factors that generally affect temperature, including solar radiation (latitude factor), ground conditions (such as land and sea distribution, reflectivity, terrain type and vegetation coverage), regulation of atmospheric circulation and ocean currents, ocean currents and weather conditions.

Such as topography, basin topography, because it is surrounded by mountains, heat is not easy to dissipate and the temperature is high. Alpine plateau, high terrain, thin air, poor atmospheric heat insulation and low temperature.

For example, atmospheric circulation and ocean currents transport heat, which can adjust the temperature between high and low latitudes. Heat from low latitudes is transported to high latitudes through atmospheric circulation and ocean currents, which can reduce the temperature in low latitudes and increase the temperature in high latitudes, thus greatly reducing the temperature difference between high and low latitudes.

Generally, due to atmospheric circulation and ocean currents, the temperature in tropical areas can be reduced by about 65438 00℃, and the temperature in high latitudes above 60 can be increased by about 20℃. It can be seen that atmospheric circulation and ocean currents also have a very significant impact on the temperature distribution.
