The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
What greenhouse effect is?
gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun
What is th process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and rediandiate heat?
greenhouse effect
What is the effect of higher levels of greenhouse gases?
More greenhouse gases trap more heat in the atmosphere, causing a global warming and climate change.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.

Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?
The Greenhouse Effect. It happens when Greenhouse Gases (CO2) thicken the atmosphere and trap heat.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
What is the process in which gases trap heat in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect
Gases in the atmosphere trap the sun's warmth?
Greenhouse effect
