Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: Changes in the Sun's temperature and energy would affect how much energy could reach Earth's system, and would alter Earth's climate. Earth's energy budget would change in the sense that less or more energy would be absorbed and emitted.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Condensation is a warming process, therefore, the temperature of the beverage will increase. If the beverage contains ice, the temperature of the beverage does not change since all energy is used to melt the ice.
