What is the
angle of the
earth’s axis from
true north?
The three ways
of energy
transfer are:
The relative
humidity is 57%
at 24◦C – how
much water is
present?
What causes
dew to form?
What and where
is the Tropic of
Cancer?
The absolute
humidity at 36 ◦C
is…
How much solar

clouds reflect?
Absorb?
What does it
mean when we
say the air is
saturated with
water vapour?

value for
Water?
The solar
constant is

humidity at 16 ◦C
is…
What does the
word “latent”
mean? Give an
example…
What are two
benefits of water
having a high
SHC?
How does heat
get transferred
through solids?
How can heat
get transferred
through liquids?
Define humidity
in units.

energy is used
by plants for
photosynthesis?
Why is the winter
air really dry,
compared to the
summer?
