Everything - without the sun the Earth would cool to about 5 degrees Kelvin,

or about minus 450 degrees F.

Average temp - which is what climate mainly is -

equals the heat in from the sun MINUS the heat lost into space.

What will happen if more of the suns heat became trapped in earth and less heat would be realeased to space?

The accelerated greenhouse effect will grow at a faster rate, the earth will get warmer, global warming will continue and climate change will become more catastrophic!


Why are CFCs not more important than CO2 in causing global warming?

CFC's are actually not related to global warming at all. They are used as coolants in refrigerators and propellants in spray cans. CFC's damage the ozone layer, which protects living organisms on Earth from the suns UV rays. So CFC's are not a factor of global warming. But CO2, carbon dioxide, is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. Since the Earth absorbs the suns rays and more CO2 is formed (from people burning fossil fuels), this makes the worlds temperature become warmer.


What is green house effeect?

the warming of the the earth as the suns rays upon exit from the atmosphere being reflected down to earth because of green house gasses.


What affects the earth's climate?

Burning fossil fuels as when they are burnt if gives out poisonous gases which then works with the green house effect, which then is destroying the ozone layer so more of the suns raise and heat is reaching the earth, increasing the climate on earth,.


How does carbon effect the climate?

It creates global warming Carbon particles can block the suns rays and cause global dimming however, carbon dioxide on the other hand block the suns rays from exiting the earths atmosphere therefore, making the planet warmer!!! That is very bad!


Why carbon dioxide considered as a green house effect?

CO2 is a green house gas that stays in the atmosphere and traps the suns radiation on earth resulting in the warming of the earth's surface. Thus it is compared to the green house.


Environment problems caused by burning coal to generate electricity?

Burning coal produces CO2 which enhances the green house effect by adding to the green house gases. Overall it causes global warming as more of the suns radiation is being reflected back to earth thus warming up earth


What does the ozone layer help with?

the ozone layer keeps the suns radiation from hitting the earth and trapping the bad gasses like carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. so when people say our ozone layer is damaged this means that our planet is warming up because the hole in the ozone layer is letting the suns rays warm the earth up.


How much of the suns reflected energy is reradiated back into space?

Approximately 30% of the Sun's energy that reaches Earth is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and Earth's surface. This reflected energy is known as the albedo effect. The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth, warming the planet and driving various processes, such as weather and climate. Ultimately, a portion of the absorbed energy is reradiated back into space as infrared radiation.


What happens when the suns energy hits the earth atmosphere?

When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, it undergoes several processes, including reflection, absorption, and scattering. About 30% of the incoming solar energy is reflected back into space by clouds, atmospheric particles, and the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth's surface, warming the planet and driving weather patterns, climate systems, and photosynthesis in plants. This interplay is essential for maintaining life and regulating the Earth's environment.


What myths do China have?

There are many Chinese myths. One includes Legend of the Ten Suns, which is about ten suns who take turns warming the earth. But then they get bored, curious, and disobedient, and they all go onto the earth at the same time. As you can probably guess, the result was not pretty. Nine of the suns were shot down by the king's archer, and one was left in the sky. This is just a very quick, very fleeting version of that particular myth.


How many suns fit into the earth?

it is impossibe the sun is way bigger than the earth No Suns would fit into the Earth because The Sun is many thousands of times larger than the Earth.
