Consider the following statements regarding the temperature of the Earth's surface:

1. The temperature of a surface is determined by net radiation
2. Net radiation produces a radiant energy flow that can heat or cool a surface
3. Net radiation balance is usually positive during the daytime and negative during night time
4. Soil surface loses energy as temperature increases during the daytime

Earth's surface temperature is influenced by net radiation, which involves the balance between incoming and outgoing energy. During the day, more solar energy is absorbed, making the net radiation balance positive, while it is negative at night due to radiation losses.
