Do greenhouse gasses make Earth's atmosphere warmer and if so why?
Greenhouse gasses, so called because of the similarity of their heat retention effect to that of actual greenhouses, cause gradual increase of atmospheric temperature by admitting daytime solar energy but blocking normal, nighttime (rising) heat escape (to outer space) at the upper atmosphere. Normal exchanges of "greenhouse" with non-greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere serve to limit heat retention and thereby stabilize average atmospheric temperatures; but disruption of normal atmosperic gas exhange can become cause for alarm at the prospect of unlimited increase of average atmosperic temperatures.
Can Greenhouse gases change Earth's average surface temperature?
Yes. They can and they do. Any increase in the level of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere will result in an increase in average global temperatures. This typically results in evaporation of additional water vapour, creating a slight amplifier effect, to further increase surface temperatures.
Does Uranus have the coldest temperatures?
Yes, the average temperatures are -184.C.
What is the hottest terrestrial planet?
Venus is the hottest terrestrial planet, and hottest overall. It thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere holds the heat effectively. Surface temperatures on Venus average 735 Kelvin or 460 °C. Mercury is closer to the sun, but it has no atmosphere to hold the heat in.
What is earth's average daytime and nighttime temperature?
Day=-142 F Night=-221 F F being Fahrenheit
What re average temperatures in Amsterdam in July?
Nighttime 13C to midday around 22C
What is Jupiter's temperature in daytime?
Jupiter is a very cold planet. The average temperature of Jupiter during the day is -1121 degrees Celsius. Nighttime temperatures can average -163 degrees Celsius.
Average temperatures are rising each year because of accumulations of carbon in the atmosphere?

Having more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will do to the average temperatures in the atmosphere and why?
Green house gases will keep more of the heat that enters the earth. It will raise the temperature
Global warming is the increase in the average what of the earth?
Temperature of the atmosphere and oceans.its the increase in the temperature of the earthBLANK = "temperature".Temperature
Which planet has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures?
Venus does. It's atmosphere is made of up 96.5% Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and has an average temperature of 464C.
What is the average nighttime temperature in the desert?
The average nighttime temperature in the desert varies depending on the desert and time of year. However, the temperature in Palm Desert, California is 80 degrees in the summer months.
What planet in the solar system has the hottest average surface temperature?
Venus, due to its close proximity to the sun and because of its thick carbon Dioxide atmosphere, which holds the heat more effectively (Mercury has no atmosphere). Surface temperatures on Venus average 735 Kelvin or 460 °C.
What are the average temperatures on Mercury?
VERY COLD! Mercury has no atmosphere to retain the heat, so on the side not facing the Sun, it can get down to like, -270 degrees Fahrenheit
What are the average monthly temperatures in Antarctica versus UK?
Average temperatures in Antarctica are generally below freezing; in UK freezing temperatures are more rare on average.
