Over geological time, the Earth's average temperrature has increased and decreased.
Think of the 'Ice Ages' , when the Earth was much colder, with larger polar ice caps. and intervening warm periods, when the Earth was much warmer.
There was no Industrial Activity or motor cars etc., to drive these changes. So it is thought that the Sun and the Earth's atitude on its spacial movement around the Sun , was the main driver for these variations.
The current 'hysteria' of climate warming/change is just a natural warming. Mankind does not fully understand the larger periodical mechanics behind this process., but it happens.
So , YES!!! The Earth's mean temperature does change over time.

No, the average temperature on Earth can vary due to factors like changes in the climate, changes in the seasons, and natural events like El Niño. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have also led to an increase in the average global temperature in recent years.
Unfortunately the average temperature of the Earth is increasing. See global warming.
No, the moon and the sun are not the same distance from Earth. The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles, while the average distance from the Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.
Yes, the moon does rotate on its axis, but its rotation is synchronized with its orbit around Earth. This is why we always see the same side of the moon from Earth.
The moon is tidally locked with the Earth, meaning that it rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth. This synchronous rotation is why we always see the same side of the moon facing towards Earth.
No, the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate it orbits the Earth, so we always see the same side of the moon from Earth. This phenomenon is known as synchronous rotation.
Well, hello there, my friend. The average temperature on Earth can be a tricky thing to pin down since it varies depending on where you are. Generally speaking, though, the average temperature across the entire globe is about 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). But remember, nature has its own way of dancing to its own beat, so this number can shift like clouds in the sky. How magical is it to know that our planet has so many hues in its temperature palette?
