==========================

Well I'm a qualified meteorologist and as far as I understand it. It gets
warmer during the day (airmass changes excepted) because of shortwave
radiation from the sun and it gets cold at night (airmass changes excepted)
primarily due to a net loss of longwave radiation.
It has nothing to do with rotation....

Day turns to night in tandem with temperature fluctuations because the
Earth is turning and far from being surprised that you even hint that
these normal human experiences are not due to rotation,I well
comprehend where you are coming from regardless of how dishonorable it
may be.There are 1461 day/night cycles in 4 circuits of the Earth and
these cycles are due to the only possible cause.

Even I would not descend to a level where normal experiences such as
daily temperature fluctuations lose their cause,and you are doing it
for a silly late 17th century mistake that is not immediately
discernible but ultimately generates a hideous imbalance of 1465
rotations in 1461 days so the point is that even before you made that
hideous statement above,you were already removed from the normal
experience of 1461 rotations in 1461 days.

Far from being an exception,and there is nothing honorable in this for
anyone,it exposes a problem that always existed in science but was
never so obvious as today.

" I have heard such things put forth as I should blush to repeat--not
so much to avoid discrediting their authors (whose names could always
be withheld) as to refrain from detracting so greatly from the honor
of the human race. In the long run my observations have convinced me
that some men, reasoning preposterously, first establish some
conclusion In their minds which, either because of its being their own
or because of their having received it from some person who has their
entire confidence, impresses them so deeply that one finds it
impossible ever to get it out of their heads. Such arguments in
support of their fixed idea as they hit upon themselves or hear set
forth by others, no matter how simple and stupid these may be, gain
their instant acceptance and applause. On the other hand whatever is
brought forward against it, however ingenious and conclusive, they
receive with disdain or with hot rage--if indeed it does not make them
ill " Galileo

Are you absolutely sure you want to argue against daily rotation as
the cause behind the daily temperature fluctuation from a daytime high
to a nighttime low ?.If you decide that you went too far then accept
that 1461 rotations will cause 1461 daily temperature fluctuations or
what amounts to the same thing 4 years/4 circuits of the Earth.

If this isn't troubling,I don't know what is.
