Abstract

I collected several months of weather measurements based on the AcuRite Atlas 7-in-1 weather station. Since September 1, 2022, I have collected over 25,470 data points every 5 minutes. This revealed an interesting pattern between the sun’s light intensity and temperature and how its light intensity directly affects the environment’s temperature. This is just one of many different research papers that I will be writing based on weather and climate to debunk this push for climate change and global warming and prove that climate change is natural and caused by natural phenomena.

Introduction

There are a lot of papers and discussions about our weather and temperature. While doing a search on this particular topic in comparing the light intensity of the sun to the temperature, there does not seem to be very many papers on it. My hypothesis is this. Can light intensity affect the temperature of the planet? This will reveal what sorts of impacts the sun’s light intensity will have on the temperature of our planet and how much influence it has. This experiment will continue over the next few years since I cannot access any archived historical data on the sun’s light intensity. Without a source, I am stuck collecting all this data myself and making comparisons over time. I hypothesize that measured temperatures will follow the sunlight intensity between seasons. I believe this is due to the earth’s rotation around the sun. Scientists have stated in the past that during the winter, we are further away from the sun, and in the summer, we are closer to the sun.

Materials and Methods

Since I do not have any resources for the sun’s light intensity and measured light, I will have to collect this data myself over time. I started on September 1, 2022, and this data is being collected every twenty-nine days utilizing the AcuRite Atlas 7-in-1 home weather station, and data is downloaded and collected once a month. The data is collected by Atlas every 5 minutes. Timestamp, light measurement in LUX or lx, the standard measurement in luminance, and measured temperature data, which is measured in Fahrenheit, are saved in an excel spreadsheet and used for line graph creations with a trend line added. Thus far, we have collected over 25,470 measurements every 5 minutes since September 1, 2022. This research will continue over the next two years to examine the patterns and associations between the sun’s light intensity and the atmospheric temperature.

Results

Over the past three months, trend analysis reveals a clear link between solar light intensity and temperature. Current data shows a significant association based on trend analysis of the data from September 1 to December 1 of 2022. we will see what happens when we begin to transition into spring around March time and will continue to add to this research as time progresses throughout the research window.
