What's the point

ER — 9/20/2013 9:33:17 PM (archived)

of knowing what the solar windspeed is, to four significant digits, and when it was updated, to the nearest second?

Besides, when water evaporates from the ocean and cools it off, it must return the heat to the atmosphere when it condenses and falls as rain.

What does it all mean?
