Leah's Peer Review

The article draft has helpful hyperlinks and descriptions of the processes influenced by diurnal cycles.

Article Lead Section The lead section could include a few more sentences or hyperlinks. Also, I would use precise descriptions and phrasing (like "day and night" instead of day/night).

Article Structure The article draft seems to lose direction towards the end. Descriptions of these processes are helpful but should always lead back to the main point, which is explaining diurnal cycles. In paragraph 2, there is also a switch of tenses from the first sentence (present tense) to the second sentence (future tense). Also, a few sentences could be improved:

"This cycle being a part of the different seasons and having the ability to change the climate in different areas affects processes such as photosynthesis and cellular respiration as well." (I think this could be rephrased more concisely for clarity).

"The surface energy has very few outside factors and its lies mostly on insolation, with the exception of polar regions." (Maybe "The surface energy primarily relies on insolation and has very few weaker influencing factors...)

Balance of Coverage and Neutral Content The article seems unbiased. Maybe you could look for areas of dispute in the scientific community and explore the reasons for the disagreements? Talking about the scientific conclusions and questions about the diurnal cycle would add complexity to the article. An extra reference or two could improve the article coverage as well.

Reliable Sources Sources are reliable and are from different authors. If you decide to add another reference, a more recent article would be good (since both listed now are from the 90s).
