Before we could figure out why the Arctic is warming so much faster than the rest of the planet, we agreed to figure out what happens typically on the Earth, when there isn't a temperature change happening, and instead, the temperature on the Earth stays constant. We narrowed down some terms we'll be using for the shortwave energy that is emitted from the sun (visible light and ultraviolet light) as well as the longwave energy that is emitted from the Earth. We agreed how both types of energy can interact with the atmosphere, the clouds in the sky, and the Earth's surface itself!
