Q1: How does sunshine affect a thermometer?

[Answer]

Warmth and cold are probably the main things by which we measure the weather.

Warmth and cold are caused by the amount of sunshine a place receives. We measure warmth using a thermometer.

We call places hot if the average (normal) temperature all year is over 25°C. Cold places have freezing daytime temperatures for months on end.
