Another thing that came to my attention, is that the average elevation of Mongolia is 1580 meters above the sea level. Whatever parts in northern China that gets cold, could be because of the elevation.
The Gobi is overall a cold desert, with frost and occasionally snow occurring on its dunes. Besides being quite far north, it is also located on a plateau roughly 910–1,520 m (2,990–4,990 ft) above sea level, which contributes to its low temperatures.
A theory of how the sun creates heat: when sunlight interacts with something, it makes it vibrate. At sea level, all the heavy molecules are, like O2. The heavier a molecule is, the more energy it produces once it vibrates, which we experienced as heat. 1000 meters over sea level, the air is thinner, less heavy molecules are here, producing less energy ones sunlight interacts with it, making it colder the higher up in the air you go.
Yes. The closer you are to the sun, at sea level, the hotter it gets. The further away you are from the sun at sea level, the colder it gets. In December, the Arctic experience little to no sun light, making water at sea level to freeze; in June, the Arctic experience 24 hours sunlight, making the ice at sea level to melt.
