What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
The process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat is called the greenhouse effect. Certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an overall warming of the planet. This process helps to regulate the Earth's temperature and make it suitable for supporting life.
The effect is the process by which gases in the atmosphere trap heat?
The greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is the natural warming in earth's what?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process where certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to warming of the planet. This helps regulate Earth's temperature and make it suitable for life.
What would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
An increase in greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, would make the greenhouse effect stronger. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the warming of the planet. Deforestation, industrial activities, and burning of fossil fuels are some of the primary sources of these emissions.
Why should we care about the greenhouse effect?
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the planet comfortably warm, warm enough for life. Now, however, by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and to make electricity, we are adding additional greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. This is producing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. This is why we should care and try to stop it.
Does the greenhouse effect make mercury very hot?
There are no greenhouse gases on Mercury. Just a very thin atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. So it has no greenhouse effect. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270°F to 800°F (-168°C to 427°C).
How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere change the greenhouse effect?
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
Which greenhouse gases make Our Planet too Hot?
All of Them.
What happens if we don't have green house effect?
If we didn't have a greenhouse effect, all of the heat that the earth radiates upwards would make it out into space - making the planet much less inhabitable and causing major temperature differences from sunlight and shade
Can the greenhouse effect be fixed?
It is possible to fix the problem of global warming, but it is also very expensive. Whether we as a species will choose to make that investment, remains to be seen. Lots of people would prefer to just allow the planet to get warmer.
Too many greenhouse gases would make earth similar to which planet?
Similar to Venus. Venus has a very high surface temperature due to its greenhouse effect. Its atmosphere contains 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), and its temperature is 460° Celsius, 850° Fahrenheit or 735° Kelvin.
Why is Venus so much hotter than Earth?
Venus is hotter than Earth because of its thick atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat from the sun through the greenhouse effect. This causes Venus to have a runaway greenhouse effect, leading to extreme temperatures that make it the hottest planet in our solar system.
