| The nearer the sun the greater the cold. This phenomenon is explained by the sunbeams bringing to the earth both light and heat as they descend to warm the hottest valleys or plains, and passing through the upper strata of the atmosphere, but leaving them always of a temperature much below freezing. The low temperature is proved by the fact that all lofty mountains, even under the equator, are capped with never-melting snows: and the higher the peaks are, the colder they are.
