How is it possible for Mercury to have frozen ice?
because Mercury cant trap heat because it has no atmosphere
What greenhouse effect is?
gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun
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.
Which gas is the most efficient gas to trap heat in the atmosphere?
It is probably ammonia or methane.
How many more times heat does methane trap than carbon dioxide?
It is 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide in blocking escaping radiant heat.
How does the wall of aquarium relate to greenhouse gases?
Since the greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun and prevent it from escaping into space the wall of an aquarium traps the water and prevents it from escaping
Does carbon dioxide trap heat?
Yes, carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the greenhouse gases. It absorbs heat (infrared radiation) rising from the surface of the earth and prevents some of it escaping to space. The build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is contributing to the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What does earths atmosphere trap from the sun?
heat
Can Mercury trap heat?
No, Mercury has no atmosphere. Without an Atmosphere planets cannot trap heat. This is the reason why Mercury's temperature changes drastically from day and night.

Which best explains how greenhouse gasses heat the earth?
They trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by the earth
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 the process in which gases trap heat in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect

How does the atmosphere trap heat on earth?
The atmosphere uses 4 different temperate layers to trap heat. yeah because if it didn't than we would be cold all the time.
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.
