Temparature
Humidity (Amount of molecules in the air)


Step-by-step explanation
Examples of environmental factors are, temperature, wind, pressure, humidity etc. Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body in motion.
This motion can be affected by factors such as rain and humidity since the make the medium more dense. It require more energy to move in a denser medium.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. When temperatures are high the molecules get more energy and move more faster increasing the rate of diffusion.

There are several environmental factors that affect the kinetic energy and diffusion. The environmental factors are temperature, molecular size, and pressure, nature of the material and the concentration of the material. All the mentioned factors directly impact the kinetic energy and diffusion of a material or compound or fluid. Temperature can generally increase the kinetic energy of molecules within a compound or a substance. Increase or decrease of temperature changes the shape and nature of the material concerned. So these natural factors have a big influence on the kinetic energy and diffusion.
