Thank you for posting Yo-Yo.

"Clearly, gas causes warming. If Earth didn’t have an atmosphere, it’d be as cold as the Moon."


Please explain why greenhouse gasses like methane and CO2 fail to hold the heat down in the shadow of a midday solar eclipse of an otherwise warm sunny day.

Also, is it any surprise that nighttime temperatures typically keep dropping in many places until shortly after sunrise?

It's not that methane and CO2 fails to hold the heat down in the shadow of a midday solar eclipse, it's how much does it absorb and re-radiate long IR waves, slowing the decrease in temperature.

In the vacuum of space, an object can go from hundreds of degrees to minus hundreds of degrees as fast as it can radiate IR when going from light to shadow. Add an insulating layer, and that radiation is slowed, thus slowing the rate of cooling.

Is it any surprise that overall in the Northern Hemisphere that average temperatures continue to fall even after the Winter Solstice has occurred in December, and the amount of sunlight starts increasing?
