What happens the atmosphere gets polluted?
Big holes in the ozone (atmosphere) appear. That's why global warming is happening.
How does the temperature of the planets vary with distance from the sun?
The further a planet is from the sun, the less light and heat radiation it gets from the sun leaving it a cooler planet. However, a planet with a gaseous atmosphere is less likely to radiate away the planets heat so it may retain more of the solar heat.
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
What are the steps that the sunlight goes though when it enters the atmosphere?
Sunlight gets absorbed, scattered, reflected, and transmitted through the atmosphere. Almost all of the ultraviolet component gets absorbed by ozone in the stratosphere. About half of the radiation gets absorbed or scattered and reflected in the troposphere. The remainder passes through, getting absorbed by the earth's surface.
Why does Mars get more ultraviolet radiation from the Sun than the Earth does?
because there is little atmosphere to protect mars the above is correct, however another reason as to why mars gets more Uv radiation is because it does not have a magnetic field unlike Earth that can deflect of harmful cosmic and UV radiation
What happens when water temperature falls?
it gets cooler
What happens if you decrease the temperature to sugar water?
it gets cooler
What happens in the van Allen radiation belts?
radiation gets sent back and fourth.
What happens to ocean water as it becomes denser?
The water gets cooler
What happens to the vapor in the air when it gets cold?
I think as it gets cooler it can hold less water vapor....
Is there any infrared radiation at night?
yes, the earth radiates heat as IR into space and gets cooler at night.
What are the three things that sun's radiation does when it enters your atmosphere?
i say it makes it warmer, it gets absorbs by the ozone layer, and it damages the atmosphere.
What happens when a meteor enters a planetary atmosphere?
it gets destroyed.
What happens to oxygen during photosynthesis?

What happens to molecules during photosynthesis?
