The physical world around us behaves as it does partly because it’s made of a huge number of tiny molecules, each behaving randomly. in the 1800’s, the scottish physicist james clerk maxwell imagined that seemingly non-random things would happen on a random basis in our real world. the fastest-moving molecules would occasionally all find themselves in one part of a water glass and begin to boil, while the slower ones, left to themselves for a bit, would freeze elsewhere in the glass. or, at some point, all the molecules in a room would randomly be moving in just one direction, rather than every which way. the term associated with such weird hypothetical scenarios is “maxwell’s demon.” explain why you think we don’t see weird things like this happen, on a random basis in real life. imagine this randomly weird world for a minute. describe something that would make it very difficult (or at least interesting) to live in a “maxwell’s demon” world.

Hannah is writing a report on how albedo affects the global climate. she’s proofreading her passage for any factual errors. which sentence must hannah correct before submitting her report? earth receives energy from the sun. this energy drives many of the processes on earth, including its climate. some part of this energy is reflected by earth’s surface. we use the term albedo to describe the reflected energy. albedo of an object is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the total radiation reaching the object. a value of 0 means no energy is absorbed by the object, whereas a value of 1 means that all of the energy is absorbed. in this way, the albedo of an object can influence earth’s atmospheric temperature.
