What affect occurs when carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere absorb the infrared rays forming a kind of heat blanket around earth?

atmosphere acts as a protective blanket for the organisms to exist. it keeps the average temperature of the earth fairly steady during the day and even during the course of the whole year. in addition the ozone shield (high concentration of ozone about 18-50km above the surface of the earth) of the atmosphere absorbs most of the harmful UV radiations coming from the sun thereby protecting man and animals from their harmful effects.
Answer2: The atmosphere acts as a shield and a blanket. An outer layer of the atmosphere, the stratosphere, contains a form of oxygen called ozone, which absorbs 99 percent of incoming ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Thus, the ozone layer helps protect many form of life, including humans and plankton, from dangerous radiation. The amount of stratospheric ozone is not fixed but is directly proportional to the intensity of UV radiation, making the ozone layer a dynamic, efficient shield. The atmosphere also protects from a barrage of millions of meteoroids, ranging in size from tiny particles to boulders. Fortunately, the majority of these burn up in the atmosphere, becoming flashes of light called meteors.

The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere?
The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere is referred to as condensation.
What is The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere?
Condensation
Where does most of the Carbon produced from burning fossil fuels end up?
It goes into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. The heat produced by burning fuel comes from forming the carbon-oxygen chemical bonds that creates CO2.

Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
What type of cloud is flat and layered forming a blanket like cover over the sky?
Stratus Clouds form a layer or 'sheet' across the sky and tend to be much lower in the atmosphere
The forming of water droplets and clouds in the atmosphere?

What reacts with lime water forming a precipitate?
Carbon dioxide
What do you see when limestone is heated very strongly?
simply it breaks out due to forming of carbon dioxide in the gaps if it takes place in an close atmosphere with high pressure than turns into marble.

What scientist think they know about global warming?
•It has been determined that some human activities contribute to global warming by adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. -Green house gases: these gases make up the Earth's atmosphere forming a kind of thermal blanket over the Earth. When they warm up they create the greenhouse effect which is needed to maintain life on Earth. But as their concentration grows, more heat will be trapped in the atmosphere and less will escape back into space. -Some of these human activities are: •Human use of fossil fuels •Driving cars •Using electricity from coal-fired power plants •Heating our homes -All these activities release carbon dioxide and other heat trapping gases into the atmosphere. •Deforestation: fewer trees means less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen.
Does gaseous sulfur dioxide react in rainwater?
Gaseous sulfur dioxide will react with droplets of water in the atmosphere, forming weak sulfuric H2SO4 or sulfurous acid H2SO3. SO2 + H2O = H2 SO3 or if the SO2 oxidizes to SO3 first 2SO2 + O2 = 2SO3 SO3 + H2O = H2SO4
