This image shows daytime land surface temperature as observed by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flying on NASA’s Terra satellite between November 1 and December 1, 2007. It shows how the indirectness of sunlight at high latitudes affects temperature. The coldest areas, colored blue and white, are in the north, while the warmest areas, yellow and red, are near the Equator. These are also the planet’s most snow-covered areas.
