What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases can absorb radiation, where specific gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane can trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming. Gases can also scatter radiation, leading to phenomena like Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere, which is responsible for the blue color of the sky.
How do greenhouse gases affect the reflection of solar radiation in the Earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing an increase in temperature. This leads to a decrease in the reflection of solar radiation, as more heat is absorbed by the gases instead of being reflected back into space.
Excess carbon gases released into the atmosphere cause additional radiation to be retained and Earth's average temperature to increase. This phenomenon is known as?
the greenhouse affect
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.
What gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation and Which gases absorb ultraviolet?
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
What is the effect in which gases in the atmosphere convert absorbed radiation into heat?
Greenhouse!
What do gases affect?
Greenhouse gases affect the temperature of the atmosphere. They capture the sun's heat and warm the planet.
What is the source of radiation for both earth's atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What type of radiation is in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases?
Infrared radiation is the type of radiation trapped in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases. This radiation is emitted by the Earth's surface and is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
What is the atmospheres role in the exchanges of gases on earth?
The atmosphere exchanges gases by means of convection, radiation, and conduction. This is how energy is transferred between the Earth and the atmosphere.
