Another city (B) is surrounded by a light-colored sandy surface.

The third city (C) is built on the edge of a large man-made desert lake. 

Which city would likely have the highest average summer air temperature and why?

The earth's surface tends to lose heat in winter. Which of the above cities would have the warmest average winter temperature? Why?

Since the sun is approximately 93 million miles from the earth and space has no temperature, how do we get heat from the sun?

For question one, you look at the specific heats of both land and water, the water has a higher specific heat, therefore, it takes more energy in order to raise it up another degree of Celsius. What specific heat also tells us is that it takes longer for the water to cool down, therefore, land heats up more during the day, but water will cool down slower at night.
