What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
Why is Co2 is a greenhouse gas?
because it has the ability to trap heat, thus warming the earths atmosphere :)
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
What greenhouse gas used to make up most of earths early atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, CO2
Is the Earth getting Warmer and Why?
Well it all starts with Greenhouse gases i.e. Carbon dioxide, Methane, water vapour etc. When the sunshine's, the ocean and the plants absorbs it, then it releases it. But, that was before. Now the earth is also releasing greenhouse gases by deforestation and burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases trap extra energy from the sun. So if the ocean and plants absorb 100 joules and then lets out 100 joules, because of the greenhouse gases only about 75 joules will actually be let out of the earths atmosphere. The remaining 25 joules will be trapped in the earths atmosphere.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere the greenhouse?
The sun.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
What substance traps heat from the earths in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases
What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?
Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.
What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
How does the greenhouse effect affect the earths atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect causes the earth's atmosphere to hold in more heat radiation than it should. It is caused by envirormentally harmful chemicals entering the atmosphere, like carbon dioxcide. This ,in turn, causes the global temperature to increase global warming.
How did earths atmosphere change?
Earths atmosphere has changed in a few ways. It contains more pollutants and carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
What is a good sentence with the word greenhouse effect in it?
The greenhouse effect is when gases get trapped inside the earths atmosphere and cannot get out so the sun heats them up and the earth gets warmer. just like a greenhouse
What are the componets of natural gas?
the earths surface is bound connect with the atmosphere that represents the greenhouse effect.
