What is this trapping of heat called?
The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the trapping of the heat by the atmosphere?
greenhouse effect
What is called when trapping heat by the atmosphere of Venus?
Greenhouse effect. The same effect that keeps Earth warmer than if there would be no atmosphere: without an atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth would be below zero Celsius.
Which planet can get colder Venus or Mercury?
Although being closer to the sun, Mercury is the colder of the two planets. Venus's thick atmosphere allows for a greater greenhouse effect, trapping heat easily and retaining it for longer than Mercury can.
Why does the temperature drop a lot in other planets at night?
The temperature does not drop drastically on all planets, only planets with a thin atmosphere, such as Mars or Mercury. It is because the thick atmosphere traps the heat, and clouds are a bonus, like on Venus, because they trap much more heat than just a thick atmosphere. On a planet like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, it cannot hold on to very much heat in the night side, and a planet like Mercury cannot trap any heat and cannot be shielded from the heat for lack of a real atmosphere. That is the basic idea. =)
What is the trapping of heat by an atmosphere called?
global warming
What is the trapping of the heat of venus' atmosphere called?
The "greenhouse effect."
what is the trapping of heat by earth's atmosphere?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.

What is the trapping of the heat by the atmosphere?
greenhouse effect
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to?
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to a glass greenhouse's ability to trap heat. Thus, the term "greenhouse effect" was created.
What is the layer called trapping all the heat in the earth?
Many, if not all of the various layers of a planet's atmosphere trap at least some of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ground and bodies of water trap heat from the sun (and heat from the atmosphere).
What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
What does the trapping of heat energy by the earth's atmosphere maintain?
Its called the greenhouse effect!Surface temperature.
Is the trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called nuclear fusion true or false?
False. It is called the greenhouse effect.
What is called when trapping heat by the atmosphere of Venus?
Greenhouse effect. The same effect that keeps Earth warmer than if there would be no atmosphere: without an atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth would be below zero Celsius.
Can a planet with no atmosphere have a greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is a consequence of heat-trapping gasses.
