Some heat does escape into outerspace, but most is recycled elsewhere within the earth.

What insulates our earth from the deep cold of space?
Our atmosphere helps keep our planet insulated. It helps to trap heat on the surface instead of allowing it to be completely reflected back into space.
What is the function the atmosphere?
to trap heat from the sun to shield the planet from harmful radiation and to disintigrate space debris before it reaches the surface
What role do the sun play in space?
well the sun is about 99.9% of the total mass in our solar system. it's gravitational pull stops our planet and all the other planets and everything else in the solar system drifting out into space. the sun's light& heat lets life live on this planet.
When a scientist designs a space probe to detect life on a distant planet what kinds of things should it measure?
Things like contents of atmosphere, heat, etc.
What is the core temperature of planet Mars?
The core of Mars is cooler than the Earth. Why depends on the surface area relative to the volume of a planet. A larger planet like Earth has a lot of volume and a limited amount of surface area by which to radiate its internal heat to space. Mars is smaller but has more surface area per volume than Earth, so it can radiate its internal heat away to space more efficiently than Earth. There are other smaller differences in the initial heat of accretion and the heat released when the core forms from an initially homogeneous mass, but the surface area is the biggest factor. like none of this has an actual temperature
How does a greenhouse effect affect a planet?
A greenhouse effect traps heat that would otherwise escape out to space, so it keeps the planet warm.
Does the atmosphere allow heat to escape quickly in order to cool the planet?
No the atmosphere does not allow heat to escape quickly to cool the planet
Is it true or false that the Earth does not appear to be gaining or losing heat as a planet in space?
The answer to this question is true. The earth does not appear to be gaining or losing heat as a planet in space.
What is the process by which heat is trapped beneath the thick clouds of a planet?
the process is called global warming or green house effect where heat is trapped under greenhouse gasses and not allowed to escape into space thus increasing the global heat of the planet this effect can be seen in superlative terms in oue solar system in VENUS
Why mercury is not the hottest planet in Solar System?
Because it has no atmosphere and thus no greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases absorbs infrared heat emitted by an object and redistribute the energy throughout out a planet. Since there are no greenhouse gases present on Mercury, the energy absorbed by the planet can also escape the planet at a much greater rate into the vacuum that is space, thus keeping the surface temperature of the planet well below freezing

What to wear if you was on planet venus?
a high tec space suit because of the extream heat and pressure!!
How can this heat be reused or recycled?
condensation
What would happen if more of the suns heat became trapped in earths atmosphereand less heat was released into space?
The planet gets warmer.
When does evaporation takes place?
When the molecules of liquids don't have enough space to escape the heat, the liquid then evaporated in the air.
Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
What to wear when you go to venus planet?
I believe that you should were a space suit, or something to protect you from all the heat in the atmosphere.
