(The following Information is fromhttp:/enzperiodzwikipediazperiodzorg/wiki/Greenhouse_effect)
The greenhouse effect is the heating of the surface of a planet or moon due to the presence of an atmosphere containing gases that absorb and emit infrared radiation Thus, greenhouse gases trap heat within the surface-troposphere system. This mechanism is fundamentally different from that of an actual greenhouse, which works by isolating warm air inside the structure so that heat is not lost by convection. The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in 1858, and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.
In the absence of the greenhouse effect and an atmosphere, the Earth's average surface temperature of 14 °C (57 °F) could be as low as −18 °C (−0.4 °F), the black body temperature of the Earth. Global warming, a recent warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere, is believed to be the result of an "enhanced greenhouse effect" mostly (more than 50%) due to human-produced increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases. This human induced part is referred to as anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
What else can I help you with?
What condition develops when infrared rays are trapped inn the atmosphere causing it to heat up?
Greenhouse effect.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
The Greenhouse Effect is making the earth what?
Greenhouse effect is making the earth hot as we all know that the whole greenhouse is covered with glass and glass traps the sun rays and heat in it and similar is the condition of the earth as it also traps the heat in it and this is the reason it is becoming hot and called as greenhouse effect.
What is the process in which the atmosphere traps infrared rays?
The process by which the atmosphere traps infrared rays is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. This results in the warming of the planet, contributing to climate change.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earth earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
Why without greenhouse effect earth would freeze?
OK, It wont freeze. Earth has atmospheres which kind of keep SOME heat in but still releasing extra. The greenhouse effect wont freeze earth the less greenhouse emissions the better. Greenhouse effect is when their is ALOT of carbon in the air from cars and the sun's rays come onto Earth but wont leave. WHich causes the Earth to heat up, and in no time we will end up like Mars.... dead
What causes the greenhouse effect and how does it affect earths atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases that absorb infrared rays and thereby keep the earth warmer than it otherwise would be. The greenhouse effect is important to life on earth. Without greenhouse gases, there would be global cooling and life as we know it would no longer be possible. With increased levels of greenhouse gases, there is global warming and undesirable climate change.
