...the temp of air? 1. much lower
2. the same
3. all are wrong
4. a little higher
5. a little lower
 
Measurement of statistical temperatures are done in the shade, in an open area, in a specifically sized and ventilated enclosure at a set height above ground and over grass.
If you put a thermometer direct in sun, it will read too high.
4 fits best.
