A
Amount of water on the planet
B
Distance to the Moon
C
Proximity to the Sun
D
Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Insolation is the most important factor that influences the distribution of temperature on the earth. Insolation is the solar radiation that reaches the earth’s surface. It is measured by the amount of solar energy received per square centimeter per minute.

Detailed explanation-2: -Water vapor and clouds are the major contributors to Earth’s greenhouse effect, but a new atmosphere-ocean climate modeling study shows that the planet’s temperature ultimately depends on the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Factors Controlling Temperature Distribution The latitude of the Place. The altitude of the Place. Distance From The Sea.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although many factors combine to influence weather, the four main ones are solar radiation, the amount of which changes with Earth’s tilt, orbital distance from the sun and latitude, temperature, air pressure and the abundance of water.

Detailed explanation-5: -The latitude of the place. The altitude of the place. Distance from the sea. The air-mass circulation. The presence of warm and cold ocean currents. Local aspects.
