Water vapour Carbon dioxide A more energy, hotter, temperature increase – Methane Nitrous oxide Direct sunlight at equator, therefore hotter. B cooler – Less direct as we move away from the (further and less direct) equator, therefore cooler A warmer – More constant energy, (closer and more direct) No seasons, Amount of energy changes from point on temperature would depend orbit to further point on latitude.
