As infrared (mainly emitted from the sun) enters our atmosphere it is partly absorbed as heat and partly reflected back into space. However, when greenhouse gasses are present, they reflect the infrared rays back to earth, preventing some of the heat to escape. This can be useful in maintaining the atmosphere's temperature but when there is a large amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere too much heat is trapped, which causes the earth to heat up.
What else can I help you with?
What negative things can result from increasing the number of greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
As Algore proposes the increasing greenhouse gases cause global warming. Global warming is the increasing of the atmospheres temperature.
What do greenhouse gases do to the world?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. This causes the Earth's temperature to rise, which can result in changes to the climate, such as increased global temperatures, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events.
Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer share the same effect?
Yes they do share the same effect. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases block the temperature to troposphere. Thus heat cannot escape to Stratosphere.No
What is the relationship between global warming and greenhouse gases?
Global warming is the increase in Earth's average temperature, largely due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun, causing the planet to warm. This relationship is a major factor driving climate change.
How does an increase in greenhouse gas in the atmosphere contribute to an increase in global temperature?
Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in Earth's atmosphere, creating a "greenhouse effect". When the concentration of greenhouse gases increases, more heat is trapped, leading to an increase in global temperature. This phenomenon is a key driver of climate change.
Can you describe Global warming better than what i have learned in school?
Global warming is a gradual increase in average global temperature. Greenhouse gases are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere.
How can chlorofluorocarbons in aerosols and refrigerators affect the global environment?
CFC's (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases hinder the Earth's release of heat. Heat then, is trapped in Earth - increasing the Earth's temperature. Therefore, it contributes to global warming.
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
Why is it incorrect to say that greenhouse gases cause global warming?
It is not incorrect, Greenhouse gases are Methane and Carbon Dioxide and their increasing presence in Earth's atmosphere is causing the temperature of the atmosphere to rize (warm).
The temperature of the Earth is rising due to the increase of what?
Increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are causing global warming.
