What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
What do greenhouses gases trap?
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
How do greenhouse gas emissions impact change?
Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth. This extra heat is causing global warming, and is changing the climate.
Greenhouse gases are -trapping gases?
Heat-trapping gases.
Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What substance traps heat from the earths in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases
What absorbs heat leaving earth's surface?
Greenhouse gases.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb?

What occurs when gases in the atmosphere absorb heat from the surface of the earth?
The greenhouse effect!
What is absorbed by green house gases?
Greenhouse gases absorb Infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth.
