What happens to all of the energy that the earth receives from the sun?
Energy can be scattered or absorbed by aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are dust, soot, sulfates and nitric oxides. When aerosols absorb energy, the atmosphere becomes warmer. When aerosols scatter energy, the atmosphere is cooled.
What are the types of aerosols?
Aerosols can be classified into two main types: primary and secondary aerosols. Primary aerosols are directly emitted into the atmosphere, such as dust, pollen, and smoke from combustion. Secondary aerosols, on the other hand, are formed through chemical reactions in the atmosphere, often from precursor gases like sulfur dioxide or volatile organic compounds. Additionally, aerosols can be categorized by their size, composition, and source, including natural aerosols (like sea salt and volcanic ash) and anthropogenic aerosols (such as industrial emissions and vehicle exhaust).
How old is the earths atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere is very old. It was formed when earth was formed.
What are the three types of aerosols in Earth's atmosphere that are measured by NASA researchers?
The three types of aerosols measured by NASA researchers are sea salt aerosols, dust aerosols, and black carbon aerosols. Sea salt aerosols are produced by the breaking of ocean waves, dust aerosols result from dust storms and other sources of dust in the atmosphere, and black carbon aerosols come from the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass burning.
Is Earth atmosphere abundant in gas?
The Earth atmosphere is formed from gases.
How do aerosols form in earths atmosphere?
Aerosols in Earth's atmosphere can form through natural processes like volcanic eruptions, wildfires, and sea spray. They can also be generated by human activities such as industrial processes, vehicle emissions, and agricultural activities. Once in the atmosphere, aerosols can affect climate by scattering or absorbing sunlight, and by acting as cloud condensation nuclei.
How long can aerosols and ash that erupt from a volcano stay in the upper atmosphere?
aerosols and ash can stay on the atmosphere for months or years.
How are the holes in the ozone layer formed and where do you find them in the atmosphere?
they are formed due to cloroflorocarbonsCFC's and HCFC's procuced by aerosols,fridges,air conditioners,etc. one such hole was over antarctica
What are aerosols and what role can they play in climate change?
Aerosols are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the atmosphere. They can affect the climate by either scattering sunlight and cooling the Earth or absorbing sunlight and trapping heat, contributing to warming. The impact of aerosols on climate change depends on their composition, size, and concentration in the atmosphere.
Tiny particles that float in the atmosphere held aloft by slight air movement are?
Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in Earth's atmosphere. These particles can come from natural sources like dust and sea salt, or from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Aerosols play a role in climate change by affecting the amount of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface and by influencing the formation of clouds.
Explain how aerosols are formed in earths atmosphere?
Aerosols in Earth's atmosphere are formed through natural processes like volcanic eruptions, sea spray, and dust storms. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and industrial processes, also contribute to aerosol formation. Tiny particles from these sources can remain suspended in the air for extended periods, impacting air quality, climate, and human health.
What are the tiny droplets and solids in the atmosphere?
aerosols
