Imagine that the temperature of the Sun were to change. Describe or discuss some of the effects that this might have on Earth's energy budget and Earth's climate.
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

When you remove a cold beverage from a refrigerator in a humid room, water vapor will condense on the sides of the container. Would this act to warm or cool the beverage, or would the condensation have no effect on the beverage's temperature?
  What will be an ideal response?

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.
