How does greenhouse effect maintain the biospheres temperature range?

Answer 1

Greenhouse Gases are essentially very good at absorbing Infrared Radiation. So when IR from the sun hits the Earth's surface and is reflected, it would normally be reflected back into space, the greenhouse gases however are in the way, and absorb the heat.

A:The sun's heat gets trapped in the earth's atmosphere. A:The popular view is that the atmosphere has some sort of layer of carbon dioxide "up there" that reflects heat back down to Earth rather than letting it escape to space. That would be like the glass on a greenhouse trapping warm air in while letting the sunlight through to increase the heat. In a greenhouse the sunlight warms the benches and floor, he warm objects heat the air, the air is trapped by the double layer of insulating glass.

It does not happen that way.

Sunlight comes in and warms the Earth's surface. It warms the gases in the air too, at least some of them with a bond size that gets excited by sunlight. These special gases are greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and a few others). They are mixed evenly through all of the atmosphere (not in a layer). When the gases are warm they share their heat with all their gas molecule neighbours and heat the atmosphere generally.

The effect is more like wet sand in a microwave. Microwaves do not heat sand. They do heat water. When you microwave wet sand, the water heats up - might even turn to steam. The hot water warms the sand.

Answer 2

The natural situation in which heat is retained by this layer of greenhouse gases is called the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and a few other atmospheric gases trap heat energy and maintain earth's temperature range. These gases function like the glass windows of a greenhouse. Just as the glass keeps the greenhouse plants warm, these gases trap the heat energy of sunlight inside earth's atmosphere.

Answer 3

the gases are produced from factories that are in construction and the construction produces greenhouse gases that keep the earths temperature from getting to hot or getting to cold.

Answer 4

They prevent the incident Electromagnetic Radiation - mainly the Heat Laden infra-red rays - from leaving - or becoming excident - again. [New word - Noted]
