If I open the windows in my room, which has AC turned on and it’s cool in the summer, it will quickly become as hot as it is outside, why isn’t it happening around the globe?
In: Physics
Areas around the equator receive very strong sunlight and the poles get very diffuse sunlight, so they do receive different amounts of energy.
The heat energy also doesn’t all stay in the earth and its atmosphere, some is lost into space, so it’s not a closed system.
