If the composition of the upper atmosphere were changed so that it permitted terrestrial radiation to escape what effect would this have on earth's climate?

The escaping heat would mean that the Earth would freeze.

The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
What absorbs Earth's radiation?
It depends on the type of radiation.
How much radiation does the atmosphere absorb?
The atmosphere absorbs most of the radiation. The ozone layer absorbs most of the UV rays.
When does the earth emit terrestrial radiation?
Terrestrial radiation refers to heat emitted from the earth's atmosphere and surface.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed by?
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
What Is terrestrial radiation and How does it differ from solar radiation?
They are essentially the same thing. Solar radiation from the sun is made up of two components: (1) direct solar raidation; and (2) diffuse solar radiation. Global radiation refers to the sum of direct and diffuse fractions.
What relationship between insolation and terrestrial radiation causes temperature to rise?
terrestrial radiation-the long wave radiated by the sun is called terrestrial radiation.
Which radiation is also called effective radiation?
terrestrial
What are the source of radiation?
Cosmic radiation External terrestrial and internal radiation
Cosmic radiation and radiation from terrestrial sources are examples of?
Natural background radiation
What is the difference between direct and indirect global warming potential?
They are two types of radiation 1. Direct radiation 2.Diffused radiation The solar radiation reaching the surface of atmosphere of earth is known as extra terrestrial radiation. In which some part of radiation directly enters the earth atmosphere and some part enters the earth atmosphere by reflecting from clouds, gases , aerosols etc., The radiation which directly enters the earth atmosphere is known as "Direct radiation" The radiation which enters the earth atmosphere by reflecting from clouds, gases, aerosols is known as diffused radiation. In materiology the sum of both Direct radiation and Diffused radiation is called total radiation.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
What type of rays do ovens use?
Infrared radiation (most common form of terrestrial heat radiation.)
What form of radiation can be shielded by the earth's atmosphere?
The form of radiation shielded by atmosphere is Ultraviolet. The Ultraviolet is a part of radiation released by our star sun.
