Do the sun rays refract?
The sun's rays are scattered by gases in the atmosphere. They also refract through water droplets in the lower atmosphere to create rainbows.
What warms the atmosphere?
Mostly the sun. The sun's heat warms the earth. This heat, in the form of infra-red energy rises into the atmosphere where it is trapped by greenhouse gases. This greenhouse effect warms the atmosphere.
Which gases in the atmosphere trap the sun's warmth?
greenhouse gasesThe main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
What are the three major gases that make up the air in the atmosphere?
Nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen.
Major gases of the atmosphere today are?
The major gases of the atmosphere are mainly nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen takes up 78.09% of the air and oxygen takes up 20.95% of the air. The rest is made up of 0.93% argon and 0.039% carbon dioxide.
What are atmosphere gases?
atmosphere gases are made of air
What layer of the atmosphere has layered gases and thin air?
The atmosphere has layered gases. It also has thin air.
Gases in Mercury's atmosphere?
Mercury has no atmosphere. Cosmic rays from the sun burn the gases off.
Is the atmosphere often referred to as air?
An atmosphere is a sort of shell of gases surrounding a planet or a moon. In Earth's case, we call these gases air. So you could say that the atmosphere is made of air.
What does an increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mean?
It means there is more greenhouse gases in the air. Greenhouse gases absorb and hold the sun's heat. So an increase means that the atmosphere gets warmer, globally (global warming).
What is the difference the air and the atmosphere?
air is a mixture of gases, water vapour, dust particles and smoke the atmosphere is a mixture of colourless, odourless and tasteless gases
What is the mixture of gases in the atmosphere called?
It is called "atmosphere". Also, "air".
What is the sun's composition of the atmosphere?
The composition of the sun's atmosphere is mainly made up of gases. Some of the principal gases include hydrogen and calcium among other smaller components.
What is the composition of atmosphere of the sun?
The composition of the sun's atmosphere is mainly made up of gases. Some of the principal gases include hydrogen and calcium among other smaller components.
Does the sun keep the earth warm?
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
Where do most of the gases in the air come from?
Gases of the atmosphere were attracted by gravity from the space.
Gases in the atmosphere trap the sun's warmth?
Greenhouse effect
