Natural phenomenon's affect our climate in different ways because these natural things allow climate to occur. For instance, the greenhouse effect, the earth’s rotation around the sun, the, volcanic eruptions, and El Niño, and La Niña each can affect climate here on earth. **// “EARTH’S CLIMATE IS NOT TO HOT OR NOT TO COLD DUE TO OUR GREENHOUSE GASES IN OUR ATMOSPHERE. //** ||  1. Natural greenhouse gases affect the climate by keeping our temperatures just right for us to live on earth. Our atmosphere is composed of these greenhouse gases which keep our temperature in balance, so we have just the right temperature. What these gases do is they absorb or take in the heat, not allowing it to escape (picture an insulator), and then radiate the heat back into the atmosphere except now in all directions. If there were no greenhouse gases, earth’s climate would drastically change. We’d have the earth heating up, making it extremely hot in the daytime and the earth would cool at night making it extremely cold at night making it extremely cold at night.

2.Another natural phenomenon that affects climate is the earth’s tilt, rotation and orbit around the sun. Due to the earth’s tilt rotation and orbit, our seasons occur which affects the climate because within our seasons are our specific climate conditions, such as, here in the winters our climate conditions are very wet, cold and there are some chances of snow and high chances of precipitation. How this works is that if the earth is tilted is towards the sun, the sun’s rays hit earth directly and the earth warms up creating summer; the earth keeps rotating on up until the earths tilt is now facing away from the sun, meaning that the rays are not hitting the earth directly, the earth cools creating winter. In-between winter and summer is sort of the transitional zone where it’s not too hot or cold since the tilt of the earth isn’t directly facing the sun or isn’t direct facing away from the sun. If the earth were not to rotate, orbit, or tilt, around the sun, it would cause extreme weather conditions where there would be extremely hot weather and extremely cold weather, which wouldn’t be suitable for people to live in. The earths tilt, rotation and orbit is like a schedule or timetable for climate, where it deciphers what type of weather a certain region has each year.

4. The El Nino and la Niña affects climate by changing the ocean temperatures which alter the wind patterns and precipitation patterns. El Niño causes warm water and la Niña cold waters. (The climate affect depend on where you are on the earth.)
