What traps the energy near the earth's surface?
Greenhouse Effect
What planet has a very thick atmosphere that traps heat close to its surface?
planet venus
Why is mercury not the hotest planet to do nearest to the sun?
cause mercury doesnt trap the suns heat into the surface. It burns in the day time but freezes at the night time. Venus traps the suns heat in its surface.
What gas causes the ice to melt?
Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
Why is earth's surface warmer than the the surface of other planets?
In some cases, its because it's simply closer to the sun than other planets. In other cases, its because the Earth has an atmosphere that traps the heat in like the Greenhouse Effect purports.
What happens when the earths atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
It cuases the green house effect
What is the Atmospheric condition in which warm air traps cooler air near Earth's surface?
Temperature Inversion
Why don't Bakugan Traps have G-Power?
bakugan traps are cooler
What substance traps heat from the earths in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases
What traps the energy near the earth's surface?
Greenhouse Effect
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 two kinds of friction affecting mouse traps?

Why is the Earth's surface warmer than the surface of other planets like Mars?
The Earth's atmosphere traps heat.
How does the absence of an atmosphere affect the Moon's surface temperature?
Well, atmospheres help absorb heat, so it traps in heat from the sun to make it warmer, so the absence of an atmosphere on the moon affects it by making it cooler because without an atmosphere, there is no way to trap in and keep heat.
What do you call the heating of the surface of a planet due to the presence of an atmosphere that traps heat witin its surface?
I believe the answer you are looking for is "The Greenhouse Effect."
Why is the surface of the lungs smooth and slimy?
