What else can I help you with?
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What causes earth surface to get warm?
Sunlight. The warmth rises into the atmosphere where some is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases then warm the earth's surface again.
What is the source of radiation for both earth's atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What in the earth's atmosphere absorbs heat?
Greenhouse gases.
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
Which form of radiation given off by the earth causes heating of the earth's atmosphere?
Infrared radiation is the form of radiation given off by the Earth that causes heating of the Earth's atmosphere. This radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which traps heat and warms the planet.
What percent of greenhouse gases make up earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases make up about 1% of Earth's atmosphere. The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide, methane, and others. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change.
Does earth radiating mostly infrared light cause the greenhouse effect?
Yes, the Earth's surface absorbs sunlight and then emits much of it as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping to space, which warms the planet overall.
How much surface area of the earth is covered by greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are part of the Earth's atmosphere; as such, they cover all of the Earth's surface. The whole world is covered by atmosphere.
What air traps heat and causes the greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFC's, and water vapor trap trap the heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
