Examine (daytime) surface temperature and solar radiation received at locations found near similar latitudes using NASA Data.

Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations. 

Students explore positive feedback effects of changing albedo from melting Arctic sea ice.

In this interactive you will create space weather forecast maps for solar minimum and solar maximum.

Students move through a series of short activities to explore and evaluate global solar radiation data from NASA satellites.  In this process, students make qualitative and quantitative observations about seasonal variations in net energy input to the Earth System.
