Effect that prevents a planet's heat from escaping is what?
greenhouse
How is the greenhouse effect affecting earth's energy balance?
The greenhouse effect prevents heat escaping into space. Increased greenhouse gas levels means that more heat is retained. This affects the balance by making the earth warmer.
What is the greenhouse effect apex?
Gases in the atmosphere prevent heat from escaping.
What are effects that atmospheres have on planets?
greenhouse effect
How does the atmosphere warm the earth?
It keeps the sun's warmth from escaping by the greenhouse effect
Does the atmosphere warm the earth?

What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?
Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.
The warming of an atmosphere that is the result of gasses such as carbon dioxide which prevent the sun's heat from escaping?
This is the greenhouse effect.
What other planets have greenhouse gases?
Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.
Does carbon dioxide trap heat?
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the greenhouse gases. It absorbs heat (infrared radiation) rising from the surface of the earth and prevents some of it escaping to space. The build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is contributing to the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What gases cause a greenhouse effect on planets?
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) trap infrared radiation (heat) causing a greenhouse effect.
