Solution

  • Temperature is a relative term implying a degree of molecular activity or heat of a substance. Temperature refers to the degree of hotness. In other words, the temperature is the measurement of available or sensible heat energy in a system.
  • Temperature plays an important role to maintain atmospheric stability. We feel a variation of temperature at different altitudes of atmosphere, at different places over the surface of the earth and even at different times during a day or during a month or during a year. Temperature is variable so to maintain atmospheric stability temperature should be maintained.
