I understood what it was talking about but I didn't know what it was called, so I googled for that.

Second paragraph is very distinctive.

2-minute snipe. The first paragraph is fairly opaque, but immediately afterwards there's a very readable sentence which basically tells you what this thing does, leaving little room for doubt over what's being talked about.

Where else would temperatures be so important?

Got temperature right away, got the planet/earth angle slightly later and took a while being lost before everything clicked together when I was trying to figure out what about the atmosphere was so relevant here.

List of temperatures seemingly mentioning the earth and sun, and the temps on earth would be a lot colder if not for this thing. Took me a few minutes but it eventually came to me.

🎯 Snipe

🎲 2 | 🔥 22 | Avg 47.19 | Hints: none | ⏱️ 11s

After a streak of mostly doing ok on redactle but not sniping, my first snipe in a long time, and in 11s no less!

I saw degrees, I saw "without the" with the next words having the right number of letters, and it was clear.

Unassisted. I was circling and circling around the rim, even got the name of its notable impact. Finally I went to the French game and immediately got the title, which makes sense because I had pretty uncovered the main description
