It's a tangent.

I am curious if we query the data to give us temperature at a given time for all lat n long and plot it geo spatially , would the result give anything on heat distribution of energy received across the lat and long at that point in time?

What do you mean by the heat distribution of energy? Do you mean like how much heat is received from the sun at a particular location and particular time? If so, then temperature is only the result of this plus other factors. Factors like cloud cover influence how much radiation is received at the surface.
