What is the process in which the atmosphere traps infrared rays?
its the greenhouse effect
What is the process that traps the sun's energy in the atmosphere warming the earth?
The greenhouse effect.
Process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat?
The process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat is called the greenhouse effect :)
Why does venus have higher surface temperatures than mercury even though venus is farther from the sun?
Because Venus is closer to the sun than Earth is, it receives more solar energy than Earth does. Much of this radiation is reflected by Venus's clouds, but some radiation reaches the surface and is later given off as heat. The carbon dioxide in Venus's atmosphere traps heat so well that Venus has the hottest surface among the planets. This trapping of heat by the atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect.
What reflects heat back into space and traps heat near Earth?
Clouds and the atmosphere.
Why does CO2 destroy the atmosphere?
It doesn't really "destroy the atmosphere", Carbon Dioxide traps solar radiation, if there is too much solar radiation being trapped, then the earth becomes much hotter, hence global warming.
The is process in which the atmosphere traps warming solar energy near earth' surface?
Green house effect. Correct me if I'm wrong but i am pretty sure that is correct.
Process in which the atmosphere traps heat?
the answer is green house effect
What is the process in which the atmosphere traps infrared rays?

The name of the process by which the atmosphere traps infrared rays is the?
Greenhouse effect
Earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun which?
Causes the greenhouse effect.
Which gas traps the most infrared radiation in Earth's atmosphere?
The most important are water vapors.
Which gas traps heat on Venus gas solar energy?
Venus has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which traps the heat from the sun.
Why is mercury the closest to the sun but venus is the hottest?
Venus has a dense atmosphere which consists almost entirely of carbon dioxide. This traps incoming solar radiation like a greenhouse effect that is totally out of control! As a result, the surface of Venus can reach temperatures of 465 deg C - more that enough to melt lead!
What is a direct result when the earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
The greenhouse effect
What traps the heat in the atmosphere of a planet that causes it to heat up?
The Greenhouse effect...
What is the process that traps the sun's energy in the atmosphere warming the earth?
The greenhouse effect.
