abstract="The  temperature  levels  inside  a  car  parked  in  the  sun  on  a  hot  summer  day  in  Aswan  can  be  as  much  as  8.0 degrees C above  that  outside the  car. The heat  input into the cabin  is  primarily  from solar  radiation passing  through  the car  glasses which  called  the  greenhouse  effect. The  temperature is  measured  at  four  different  places  inside  the  cabin. Four thermometers are used to measure the temperature at front dash board, rear board, front seat, and rear seat. The effect of car orientation on the cabin temperature are studied by facing the car towards the main four directions, North, South, East, and West. Cracking the windows of the car by 1 and 3 cm is not sufficient to reduce the cabin temperature. Covering the front and rear glasses with a car sunshade reduces the temperature of rear and front dash boards by about 5.0 degrees C.
