Understanding Earth climate

The Earth is located in our solar system’s Goldilocks Zone (not too hot, not too cold, etc.). That suggests that the critical control on our climate is distance from the sun, but the internal processes of our planet (plate tectonics) also play a major role. They control the carbon cycle

The Earth is located in our solar system’s Goldilocks Zone (not too hot, not too cold, etc.). That suggests that the critical control on our climate is distance from the sun, but the internal processes of our planet (plate tectonics) also play a major role. They control the carbon cycle and atmospheric chemistry and thus the processing of solar radiation.
