What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
Does vaporization absorb or release energy?
Vaporization absorb energy.
Does nuclear or coal energy mostly contribute to the climate change?
Coal energy releases greenhouse gases when burnt, causing global warming. Nuclear power has very little effect on climate change.
Name the pigment which can absorb solar energy?
Chloroplasts the pigment which can absorb solar energy.
Does the Calvin cycle release or absorb energy?
ABSORB
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
Why is helium a greenhouse gas?
because it can absorb and re-emit the suns energy
Is helium a greenhouse gas?

What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth called?
the greenhouse effect
How would greenhouse gases retain energy in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..
Why oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gas?
Different molecules have different characteristic vibrational frequencies for their interatomic bonds. They absorb energy that matches that frequency. The vibrational frequencies for O2 and N2 bonds don't match the main wavelengths of the energy coming from the sun or radiating back out from the earth. Water (~98 of the greenhouse effect is from water vapor) and other greenhouse gases DO have vibrational frequencies that match that energy and thus readily absorb it.
What are greenhouse gases and how they are greenhouse gases?
Those gasses that allow the passage of shorter wavelength energy such as light but reflect or absorb longer wavelength energy such as heat. The main such gasses in our atmosphere are water vapour and carbon dioxide.
How can the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases cause problems with earths energy budget?
Earth's energy budget has been balanced for thousands of years. The natural greenhouse effect allows enough heat in and out of the atmosphere to keep it warm enough for life. Additional greenhouse gases, which we are now adding to the atmosphere and causing problems with the budget and the earth is warming up. This warming is causing climate change.

Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
How does the solar heater heats up the water in the tank?
The solar panels absorb energy from then sun, the solar energy is then transformed into heat energy causing the water to heat up.
What is one effect of greenhouse gasses?
I beileve that the thermal energy is absorbed and into the lithosphere causing bergs to melt- IDK! i saw that on wikipedia! XD
