How do humans thermoregulate in cold and warm situations?
In cold situations, the human body shivers to produce heat and the blood vessels constrict to retain heat, in hot situations the human body sweats to release heat. These are the ways the body thermoregulates.
Why does a greenhouse stay warm Evan on the coldest days of winter?
Greenhouse allow solar radiation pass through the windows while it prevent convection heat loss from wind and result is higher temperature in Greenhouse.
What does the greenhouse effect refer to?
Global Warming and Heat
What is a greenhouse and how does it work?
It's a device (structure) that allows heat to get in freely, but holds it in so that the heat builds up. Classically it is a building with walls and roof made of glass: the sunlight gets in but it's hard for the heat to get out.
Does saltwater prove to retain heat the best or freshwater?
Answer: Pure water has the best capacity for heat of any material known to man, so any impurity must reduce its ability.
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 you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases.
What causes the earth to retain heat and could cause the ice caps to melt?
greenhouse
What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?
The greenhouse effect.
How is global warming working?
The greenhouse effect is the trapping of heat by certain gases that have been identified as helping retain heat on our planet. The runaway greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
What is greenhouse gas effect?
A greenhouse traps the heat inside it so that the temperature inside is hotter than the outside. Sunlight can pass through the panes of the greenhouse to warm and allow photosynthesis, yet it prevents the escape of heat from the greenhouse. Greenhouse Effect references that phenomenon. Greenhouse Gases are the gases that have the similar ability of trapping heat from sun's radiation. Gases include NOx, CO2, CO and the like. Such gases let sunshine pass through but retain and absorb the heat radiated by the earth. It makes the earth hotter due to the trapped heat (greenhouse effect).

What is the meaning of Greenhouse in 'greenhouse effect'?
A greenhouse, or a glasshouse in a garden keeps the air inside warmer. Gardeners use greenhouses to grow fruit etc in cold climates. It gives its name to the greenhouse effect because greenhouse gases retain the sun's heat and keep the earth warm.
Do greenhouse gases stop the earth from freezing?
They do. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere retain heat rising from the surface of the earth and stop it escaping into space. This keeps the earth comfortably warm and has done for thousands of years.
What do greenhouse gases do with the heat released from earth in the form of infra-red radiation?
Greenhouse gases absorb and retain the heat rising from the earth. As greenhouse gases are increasing, so is the temperature of the earth. This is causing global warming and climate change.This heat is released during the cooler periods of the day which, in turn allow life to exist on the planet. The heat is not indefinitely retained, but part of the natural process.
Greenhouse gases- how do they affect us?
Greenhouse gases have been working with the heat from the sun to keep the earth comfortably warm for millions of years. The gases absorb some of the heat from the warmed earth and keep it from escaping into space. When greenhouse gas levels increase, as they are from recent human activity, they retain more heat and the earth warms up.
How can you keep a greenhouse from becoming too warm?
Gardeners can open windows in a greenhouse to release air that is too warm. If they use heating, then they can reduce the heat.
