Greenhouse gases, such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane filter reflect warmth back to Earth. Without these critical components of the atmosphere, the Earth would quickly turn into a giant frozen block, and life forms would freeze and die. So you can see that greenhouse gases are extremely important to have.

Why say The atmosphere as a heat Engine?
solar radiatians pass through the earth's atmosphere and are reflected by earth's surface.but due to green house gases they are trapped back tm earth which leads for earth's temperature to rise.
How control green gas houses?
Sell your car, use solar power for your house.
The planet with the green house effect?
In our solar system, Venus is the hottest planet due to its runaway atmospheric greenhouse effect.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Is global warming same as green house effect?
No, Green house effect is the phenomenon when the green house gas would trap solar radiation. Mostly it could trap (absorb) radiation on infrared region better than visible range and so it result to higher temperature of this planet. The Global warming is the theory that earth temperature is increasing due to man made emission of CO2 through process of Green house effect.
What are green house gases and the green house effect?
Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes. Green house gases are radiatively active gases which allow the solar radiations to pass through but reflect back long wave heat radiations. Example Methane, CO2, H2O etc.
What is the input on a green house?
i think it is solar power or solar energy
Define the following green house effect?
Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes.
What is a shorter definition of the green house effect?
Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes.
Is solar energy eco friendly?
yes, it is because it uses the power of the sun which doesn't let out any toxic fumes, green house gases, or anything harmful for the environment
What can solar power generate?
solar power can generate electricity
What process produces the green house effect?
Atmospheric gases, such as watervapor and carbon dioxide, absorb thermal energy and radiate it back toearth. The gases function like the glasswalls and roof of a greenhouse, allowing solar energy to enter and preventing thermal energy from escaping.
Why do scientists believe that the process in which carbon is released as carbon dioxide is causing your climate to change?
Because they have [experimentally] determined that carbon dioxide {CO2} is a significant green-house gas. Green-house gases let electromagnetic Solar radiation In yet then prevent any re-radiation of it back into Space.
What is green house affcect?
The green house effect can be very useful. You could grow orange trees in maine with a good greenhouse. What happens is the sunlight goes into the building through windows but the actual heat can not get out if it is properly sealed.
Define green house effects?
Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes.
Why do spacecraft use solar cells to generate electricity rather than burning coal?
Burning coal releases harmful gases and it may have some bad effects in space. Solar power is more efficient
How many watts does solar make?
Solar panels can make enough watts to power your whole house if you have enough of them. Some solar panels will generate 50 watts, 80 watts or 120 watts.
