Is the average heat gain or loss by earth is zero over a year?
Does the average heat gain or loss per day changes over the year ?
What are the factors on which the heat gain or loss may depend and how that factor affects the heat gain or loss ?
Peter Baker
There is a net gain every year - a good recent piece on this: [ http://www.skepticalscience.com/Its_all_a_Question_of_Balance.html ] calculates that the heat build-up is the equivalent of adding the energy of 4 Hiroshima bombs per second to the Earth.

OMG!! Thats really huge.
Is it solely due to carbon dioxide(global warming) or maybe some other reasons ?
suppose in a particular region there is 100% carbon dioxide will it trap all the heat ?
