From the beginning of May until the present time, the entire world has
been particiapting in the Global Temperature project. My classmates and
I have thought of the hypothesis that " the closer to the equator a place
is, the less hours of daylight it has but the higher the temperatures it
experiences". This is generally true, but there are other factors that
determine the temperature. These factors may include altitude, weather
patterns and air pollution. Places with higher altitudes are colder but
may recieve more sunlight. Weather patterns affect the amount of sunlight
reaching an area and therefore affect the temperature. If it is cloudy,
sunlight may be blocked and temperatures may cool down. Air pollution may
also block sunlight, and may increase temperatures due to the greenhouse
affect. The project would have been more exact if the weather conditions
and altitudes were listed. My classmates and I have been proud to work
on this spectacular project. Sincerely, Zachary Witlin, Timothy Rogers
