2. How is the heat budget of Earth maintained?
Answer: The heat budget is maintained by balancing incoming insolation with outgoing terrestrial radiation, preventing extreme heating or cooling of Earth’s surface.

3. Why is the maximum temperature recorded at 2 PM?
Answer: The atmosphere takes longer to heat than Earth’s surface, so the peak temperature occurs  at 2 PM due to delayed heat transfer from insolation.
