After sharing all our our groups' data we saw some interesting patterns. Areas that reflected less light were warmer than areas that reflected more. With some thoughtful conversation, we concluded that if an area was reflecting a lot of light, this meant it would be absorbing very little. This also meant the opposite...that if an area reflected small amounts of light, more light would have to be absorbed. And since air touches the ground, the ground could transfer energy to the air above it, warming it up.
We worked towards consensus on this idea, and here's our consensus model (a reading on conduction helped)!
