The sun creates heat and light through the process called?

How much light and warmth a planet receives depends on what?
A planet's proximity to the Sun affects how much light and warmth it will receive. In addition to its distance from the Sun, surface reflectivity as well as the planet's atmosphere or greenhouse effect. Light from the Sun will either be reflected back into space or make it to the ground to heat it up.
Which is the hottest planet in solar system?
Venus is the hottest planet. Although it is only the second closest to the sun, its thick Carbon Dioxide atmosphere causes it to have a severe runaway greenhouse effect. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but it has no atmosphere therefore more of the suns light is reflected back out into space.
What gases trap heat in the atmosphere?
You are talking about the greenhouse effect, So named because a greenhouse lets in radiant energy from the sun warming the inside, but the roof and walls of the structure contain the heat.
What term specifically describes the process wherein the sun's radiation becomes trapped in the earth's atmosphere?
greenhouse effect Visible light come in, is absorbed by the earth's surface and reemitted as IR, the IR cannot escape the atmosphere to space so heat builds up in the atmosphere.
Does the greenhouse effect absorb sun light?
Yes It does.
Does earth radiating mostly infrared light cause the greenhouse effect?
Yes. The infrared radiation from the surface of the earth is captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the greenhouse effect.
Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.
What happens as a result of the greenhouse effect?
We stay warm and survive. The greenhouse effect works like this. We get light energy from the sun. When that light energy hits the earth's surface, it turns into heat energy. The earth then heats up the atmosphere and the "greenhouse gases" hold this heat in keeping us warm. If not for the greenhouse effect, the earth's temperature would be about -160o C.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
What happens to the size of the waves when reflected in the greenhouse effect?
Visible light radiation comes to us from the sun in the form of short wave ultraviolet light. This warms the surface of the earth. This warmth rises into the atmosphere in the form of infrared, long wave radiation, where it is captured by greenhouse gases in the greenhouse effect.
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earth earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
How does the natural greenhouse effect allow life to exist?
Natural greenhouse effect maintain the temperature of earth in night because if it will not so there will have too cold at night.carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere allows the light to come in earth surface and it allows only 10% of the light to escape out into space.
How does the Greenhouse Effect affect the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect helps the atmosphere by keeping the suns rays on earth acting like a bubble letting sun light in but trapping as it tries to bounce of earths surface keeping earth warm
What effect does the greenhouse effect have on light entering and leaving the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases (water, carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) allow light to enter the earth's atmosphere. It comes in as solar radiation and about half of it is absorbed by the earth's surface. This radiation is converted to heat energy, which in turn, radiates infrared (longwave) radiation back out into space. Much of this infrared radiation is captured by the greenhouse gases in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere). The warmed greenhouse gases then heat the air around them, and re-radiate the heat back down to earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
The primary mechanism by which CO2 contributes to global warming is by what?
The sun's light and heat (in all the visible frequencies) warms the surface of the earth. The earth then emits heat in the form of lower-frequency infra-red rays which can be trapped by the carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
How is visible light convert to infrared in greenhouse effect?
Visible light heats the earth and the earth emits infrared energy which is absorbed by green house gases that trap the heat.
