What is a direct result when the earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
The greenhouse effect
What is a direct result of having greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
What is the main result of the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect will eventually result in the earth not being able to support life due to the air not been breathable and due to the future average tempreature of the earth being way too high to sustain life.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Are longer days a result of the greenhouse effect?
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.

What can you do to stop green house effect?
You cannot stop the greenhouse effect. This is because the greenhouse effect is a direct result of the earth having an atmosphere, most notably because of the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide.I suppose this means that if you really wanted to stop the greenhouse effect, you'd have to remove all carbon dioxide from the air, along with all other greenhouse gases - which would be difficult.

It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
What are synonyms of the greenhouse effect?
Global warming or climate change.Not exactly. The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.Global warming is the result of the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
Is the greenhouse effect always a harmful result of human behavior?
No! The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect, which we have now, is the result of human behaviour, namely, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases additional carbon dioxide. This greenhouse gas is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
What is the main result of the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect will eventually result in the earth not being able to support life due to the air not been breathable and due to the future average tempreature of the earth being way too high to sustain life.
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.

Are longer days a result of the greenhouse effect?
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.
Why does concrete contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Concrete is made from cement, and the manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide that had been sequestered underground for millions of years. Since the greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat, any increase in the atmospheric level of carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Because it is made from cement, concrete is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.
Does the greenhouse effect result from human activity?
Yes. Humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is getting warmer and warmer.
