How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
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.
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 does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Do greenhouse gases trap heat near the earth's surface?
Yes, greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
What if you did not have greenhouse gas?
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
How do greenhouse gases affect earth?
They stop heat from escaping the atmosphere.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb?
Heat rising from the surface of the earth.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
