The earth is receiving heat from the sun continuously. In this case, the
earth will be as hot as a furnace in no time. As such thing does not
happen, what compensatory measures does earth have to maintain the
temperature?
Answers
Answer:
Turning off the burner is like the sun going down.
Even though there is no more energy input, there is still energy output in the form of infrared radiation.
The burner stays hot because it's still emitting the energy it absorbed earlier, just like the earth.
This time delay is sometimes called "thermal inertia."

Answer:
An object will cool as long as it emits more energy than it receives. An object will warm as long as it receives more energy than it emits. Therefore, the heating or cooling of an object is cumulative. The amount of energy that has been taken away or received over a period of time determines how much an object will warm or cool. Take the earth's surface for example on a clear day. The sun has warmed the surface during the day. Once the sun goes down, the earth's surface will begin to cool (energy emitted is greater than energy received). This causes the earth's surface to become progressively cooler during the night. The earth's surface is not coldest right after sunset and not coldest in the middle of the night. It is coldest in the early morning hours around sunrise. This is because cooling is cumulative. The longer an object emits more energy than it receives, the more it will cool.
This idea of cumulative heating occurs on a clear day. The earth's surface is not the warmest when the sun is at the highest position in the sky (period of maximum daily insolation), the surface is warmest in the late afternoon, generally just 3 to 4 hours before the sun sets. The sun gradually warms the surface throughout the day. As long as the sun is supplying more energy than the earth can emit, the surface will warm.
