Or that's the version we were told, anyway. The teenagers were called Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and their school was Columbine High, an idyllic sounding place nestled between the Denver metropolitan area and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
This is because the amount of sunlight the reaches the equator changes very little, although the temperatures do vary somewhat during the rainy season. Measurement: The average surface temperature on Earth is approximately 14Â°C; but as already noted, this varies.
The global average and combined land and ocean surface temperature, show a warming of 0.85 [0.65 to 1.06] Â°C, in the period 1880 to 2012, based on multiple independently produced datasets. The Earth's average surface temperature rose by 7002273890000000000â 0.74Â±0.18 Â°C over the period 1906â2005.he Earth's average surface absolute temperature for the 1961-1990 period has been derived by spatial interpolation of average observed near-surface air temperatures from over the land, oceans and sea ice regions, with a best estimate of 14 Â°C (57.2 Â°F).
