What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?
In the exosphere, Friction between the atmosphere and the shuttle creates the heat.
What warms the atmosphere?
Mostly the sun. The sun's heat warms the earth. This heat, in the form of infra-red energy rises into the atmosphere where it is trapped by greenhouse gases. This greenhouse effect warms the atmosphere.
Why the moon is colder?
No atmosphere to retain heat
Why do space vehicles heat up when they enter the earth's atmosphere?
The Space vehicles heat up when they enter the earth's atmosphere because the tendency of the air is to compress quickly when the space vehicle hits the atmosphere. When the gasses compressed the temperature also rises which causes the heat.
What reflects heat back into space and traps heat near Earth?
Clouds and the atmosphere.
What is degree of heat?
There is no degree Fahrenheit for heat.
Is it possible to construct a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere?
is it possible to construt a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere
How much heat energy will be lost by a 200 gram mass of water as it cools from 40 degree Celsius to 35 degree Celsius?
Assuming the change takes place under the pressure of 1 atmosphere, the heat lost will be 1000 calories or 1 kCal.
Describe how radiation.conductionconvection heat up atmosphere?
describe how radiation,conduction,and convection heat up atmosphere?
Will a palm fern withstand 90 degree heat and direct sunlight?
Yes; The more they lose their water in the atmosphere, is the more they gets water from the soil through their roots.
What is the measure of the amount of heat energy in the atmosphere?
The measure of heat in a given place is called the temperature.
How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
How does heat get distributed in the atmosphere and the ocean?
the atmosphere and the ocean waters heat up through an interesting process called convection
Can you give examples of how the atmosphere moves heat energy around?
The heat energy is moved around by the suttle atmosphere winds
What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?
In the exosphere, Friction between the atmosphere and the shuttle creates the heat.
How is heat energy transferred by earth atmosphere?
heat energy transferred by earths atmosphere by the sun
How does heat enter the atmosphere?
by hurricanes
