What is the ability of the Earths atmosphere to trap heat and keep us warm?
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
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.
Is the Earth getting Warmer and Why?
Well it all starts with Greenhouse gases i.e. Carbon dioxide, Methane, water vapour etc. When the sunshine's, the ocean and the plants absorbs it, then it releases it. But, that was before. Now the earth is also releasing greenhouse gases by deforestation and burning fossil fuels. Greenhouse gases trap extra energy from the sun. So if the ocean and plants absorb 100 joules and then lets out 100 joules, because of the greenhouse gases only about 75 joules will actually be let out of the earths atmosphere. The remaining 25 joules will be trapped in the earths atmosphere.
What is a direct result of having greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What substance traps heat from the earths in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?
Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.

The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
How do greenhouse gases trap heat in earths atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases aren't trapping heat it but letting more in. The Earth's atmosphere blocks out most of the suns heat and harmful rays. With the gases polluting the world, the atmosphere is slowly weakening, letting more and more heat through.
Why does earths atmosphere trap energy from the sun?
The atmosphere traps energy from the sun because in our atmosphere are greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. These three-atom gases absorb the heat rising from the earth's surface.
What is a good sentence with the word greenhouse effect in it?
The greenhouse effect is when gases get trapped inside the earths atmosphere and cannot get out so the sun heats them up and the earth gets warmer. just like a greenhouse
What contains the greenhouse gases?
Our Atmosphere.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass
