(1)Duration of Sunshine- Temperature depends on the amount of heat received.

(2)Transparency of Atmosphere- Obstructing particles in atmosphere regulate temperature.

(3)Land-Sea Differential- Land gets heated and cools down in less time while sea takes time to get heated and cool down.

(4)Prevailing Winds- Winds transfers heat hence temperature changes.

(5)Ocean Currents- Lands’ temperatures get influenced by ocean currents.

(6)Aspects of Slope- The part of a slope receives most sun radiation is warmer than other parts.

(7)Altitude- With increasing height, temperature also decreases.

(8)Earth’s Distance from Sun- Various distance of Earth from sun throughout the year changes temperature.
