How does altitude affect the composition of clouds?

The greenhouse effect is weak for low altitude clouds, so their albedo effect dominates and they cool the Earth's climate. In contrast, cold high altitude cirrus clouds may either cool or warm the climate.


Mars has an albedo magnitude of?

The albedo of Mars is .15; you can see the albedo of all of the planets and moons in the solar system at the Nine Planets web site, linked below. "Albedo" is a measure of how reflective a body is. The higher the number, the more reflective the surface. So a high albedo says that a planet or asteroid reflects most of the light that hits it, while a low albedo indicates that most of the light is absorbed. Albedo can make calculations about climate change difficult. A planet with a high albedo reflects much of the Sun's light and heat, causing it not to heat up as much. A low albedo means that all of the solar radiation is absorbed and turned into heat. A warmer world will have less snow and ice cover, and thus a lower albedo, resulting in higher temperatures. On the other hand, a warmer world might have more clouds, which would increase Earth's albedo, reflect more sunlight, and reduce the heating effect. However, clouds also act to trap heat, sort of like a blanket. Whether the albedo effect would offset the "blanket" effect of clouds would depend on the type and height of the clouds and where they are located. Cloud effects are among the most important sources of uncertainty in modeling future climate change.

How does the enhanced greenhouse effect affect the earth's climate?

The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming. Global warming is producing climate change, serious changes in the climate of the earth. See the related question below.

What biological effects could come from climate change?

Changes in climate and increased temperature can have an effect on animals and their reproduction. It can affect the number and quality of their offspring. It can affect livestock's ability to grow meat and wool.


How do clouds affect earth's energy budget?

Clouds can have a cooling albedo effect, reflecting incoming energy. They can also have a warming effect, when they prevent energy escaping into space.


Are climate and weather short term changes in earths greenhouse effect?

Weather is a short term change to the climate, but not to the greenhouse effect. Climate is a long term change to the weather (but not to the greenhouse effect).

How does global warming affect the lithosphere?

Global Warming will effect climate change in the Atmosphere. Increased rainfall will increase erosion in the Lithosphere.
