It keeps the sun's warmth from escaping by the greenhouse effect
Yes, the natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth's atmosphere warm enough for us to live.
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
The atmosphere surrounds the earth with air
Yes, solar radiation plays a key role in heating Earth's lower atmosphere. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere, warming the surface of the Earth, which in turn heats the air above it. This process helps create the temperature gradient that maintains the Earth's lower atmosphere warm.
Sunlight. The warmth rises into the atmosphere where some is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases then warm the earth's surface again.
The natural process that keeps the Earth's atmosphere warm is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping back into space.
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth's atmosphere warm. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun in the atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space and helping to regulate the Earth's temperature.
The natural greenhouse effect, helped by greenhouse gases and the carbon and water cycles of the earth keep the atmosphere warm. Greenhouse gases keep back some of the sun's heat so it doesn't radiate back out to space. This has kept the earth warm for millions of years.
They slow the loss of heat
Because the Moon does not have an as strong atmosphere as the Earth does, so the heat cannot be contained.
The Earth and atmosphere absorb the visible and infrared energy and this warms the earth.
Rising currents of warm air transfer energy from the Earth to the atmosphere primarily through a process called convection. As the surface of the Earth heats the air above it, the warm air becomes less dense and rises. This upward movement of warm air carries thermal energy into the atmosphere, where it can influence weather patterns and contribute to the overall heat distribution in the environment.
