sunlight enters earth through atmosphere, reflected from the ground, greenhouse gases prevent them from escaping, they are trapped inside, sunlight=heat, therefore earth's temperature gradually increases

What would happen if the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced?
If the amount of greenhouse gases were reduced, then the temperature of the earth would cool.
A decrease in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere would result in?
A decrease in the amount of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere would result in Cooler global temperatures. This would help decrease the impact of global warming.
What would be the temperature on the earth with greenhouse gases?
The earth's overall temperature with greenhouse gases is 76442 degrees F.
What would happen if greenhouse gases increased?
The air will turn warmer, because if greenhouse gases increase (which they are), less heat energy will be able to leave Earth, so the temperature rises.
What is a direct result of having greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What would happen to the earth if you did not have these greenhouses gases in the atmosphere?
The earth would be too cold for life. Greenhouse gases have been essential for life on this planet, and have kept Earth warm for millions of years.
What would happen if gases absorbs visible light?
Earth's atmosphere does have greenhouse gases. These gases absorb some of the infrared radiation emitted by Earth's surface. If it did not, Earth would grow warmer and warmer as it absorbed more and more solar radiation. Greenhouse gas molecules absorb and emit infrared radiation.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
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 will happen to the earth if there were no greenhouse gases?
Earth would be considerably colder.... actually a lot colder. I'm not sure how much colder but you can try to figure that out.
Can greenhouse gases be beneficial to life on earth?
Yes, greenhouse gases are part of the natural greenhouse effect. The gases absorb the heat coming off the surface of the earth and become warm. This warming has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.
