Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which statement best explains an aspect of the differential heating of Earth’s surface by the Sun? Liquids and solids absorb and store heat differently.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solar energy is created by nuclear fusion that takes place in the sun. Fusion occurs when protons of hydrogen atoms violently collide in the sun’s core and fuse to create a helium atom.

Detailed explanation-3: -From Earth, the Sun looks like it moves across the sky in the daytime and appears to disappear at night. This is because the Earth is spinning towards the east. The Earth spins about its axis, an imaginary line that runs through the middle of the Earth between the North and South poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -How Does the Greenhouse Effect Work? Solar energy absorbed at Earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat. As the heat makes its way through the atmosphere and back out to space, greenhouse gases absorb much of it.
