What are the factors the determine a planets albedo?
Clouds can increase a planet's albedo asthey reflect the radiation
What effect do clouds have on weather?
Clouds are part of the weather process. The driving factor is not the clouds but the heat from the Sun. This said however, clouds are reflective and when these is a dense cloud cover less solar radiation hits the planets surface. They also tend to act like a blanket and reflect back any heat that the Earth is radiating.
Does the sun light reflect on clouds?
Yes it does.
How do planets get their colors?
The colors of the planets differ in different imagery depending on what equipment was used to picture it. This list, however, represents the true colors as the planets would appear for the human eye if you were close enough to see it without technical aid. Planets with an atmosphere may change color if you move inside the atmosphere.Mercury - grey (rocks, no atmosphere),Venus - pale yellow (sulfuric clouds),Earth - blue with white clouds (water and atmosphere. Sometimes areas of yellow, green and brown may be spotted but mostly with a blueish tint)Mars - orange/rusty red (rocks with high amounts of iron-oxide)Jupiter - orange with white bands (clouds of ammonium hydrosulfide and ammonia)Saturn - pale yellow (yellow/red gases seen through white ammonia. Northern hemisphere appears more blue as it is in the shadow of the rings around the planet)Uranus - light blue (methane clouds)Neptune - light blue (methane clouds - darker than Uranus because of the distance to the sun)Pluto - light brown (unpure methane ice)
Of the terrestrial planets which has the most clouds?
Venus.
Methane gives what planet there color?
Methane absorbs the red and yellow light on Uranus and Neptune, while the clouds of these planets reflect the green and blue light
What planets atmosphere is full of methane clouds?
Juipter
What are three things that absorb and reflect solar energy and keep the earth balanced?
Clouds reflect 20% and absorb 4% of incoming solar energy.The atmosphere (water drops, dust and ozone) absorbs 16%.The surface of the earth (land, vegetation, water and ice) reflects 4% and absorbs 50%.
What are the factors the determine a planets albedo?
Clouds can increase a planet's albedo asthey reflect the radiation
Why do we find methane clouds above water clouds in Saturn's atmosphere?
The reason is simple, water vapour is denser than methane meaning that the methane cloud layer forms above the 'water' clouds. Saturn also mostly has an atmosphere of Ammonia clouds.
When does the earth receive less heat from the sun?
when earth absorbs the heat coming from the sunthere is too much moisture in the air3.when the clouds reflect the heat back to the space
What makes Neptune blue in colour?
Neptune's atmosphere is 1% methane. That methane absorbs the red end of the color spectrum. So when sunlight is bounced back to the eye, you see blue.
Why can you see clouds at night?
When the sun gives off light, the light is reflected off the surface of the planets and the moon, the color of the planet depends on which colors it absorbs and gives off, like the moon absorbs all colors except that greyish color, the grayish color is reflected back into space and when the light gets to earth, we see the color, and see the moon. This is the same for all planets and such. We can see planets during the day, they don't just disapear, but they are faint against the luminosity of the sun
What is the color of Neptunes clouds?
The clouds on Neptune are made of Methane, and appear to be Blue.
What planet astmospher has methane clouds?
Venus
Does Pluto have clouds?
Most of the planets in our solar system, including our own planet Earth, have clouds. They are not necessarily water clouds. Clouds on other planets in the solar system are made of substances such as sulfuric acid, methane, and ammonia.
