Diurnal air temperature variation

Diurnal air temperature variation refers to the change in air temperature that occurs over the course of a single day. This variation is primarily influenced by the position of the sun and the Earth's rotation, which affects the amount of solar radiation received at different times of the day. Key points about diurnal air temperature variation include: 1. **Daily Cycle**: Temperatures typically rise during the day as the sun heats the Earth's surface and fall at night when the sun sets and the heat dissipates.
