What is there to cite?
I said there is energy in the atmosphere that doesn't increase its
temperature and you post irrelevant stuff about temperatures.

The point is: how do you think you can put energy into a system
without increasing its temperature?
What do you think temperature actually is? That's why Roger quoted
Wikipedia - so that you can do a bit of background reading. I don't
blame him for not wanting to have to explain A level physics in detail
to you. You need to take some responsibility for educating yourself.


I recommend you do just that.
I also suggest you don't tell me to do A level physics as if that is what
they are teaching these days its would be a waste of time.
Temperature is not a measure of the energy in a system.. it is the measure
of one type of energy in a system.
I can easily put energy into a system without changing its temperature.. I
could put an AA battery on a shelf, or a stick of dynamite in there, neither
has increased its temperature but the energy has gone up.
The same with water vapour, it has energy due to its state which can be
converted to heat energy but isn't.
In fact I can lower the temperature of a system by making water vapour out
of water already in that system.
