What effect is a phenomenon in which carbon dioxide and other gases trap solar radiation in the atmosphere causing global air temperatures to rise?

Carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse" gases are trapped in the atmosphere due to a phenomenon referred to as global warming. Global warming refers to the constant and steady rise of the Earth's temperature.


How will the increase in carbon dioxide affect the transmission of solar radiation through the atmosphere?

The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more solar radiation (in the form of infra-red heat from the warmed earth) is absorbed in the atmosphere and prevented from escaping to space. It will not change the transmission of incoming solar radiation through the atmosphere.


What are water vapor and carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere good absorbers of?

infrared radiation


What planet has a greenhouse effect that warms the planet due to the trapping of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide in the planet's atmosphere?

Three planets, Earth, Venus and Mars, all have greenhouse effects from carbon dioxide (CO2) in their atmosphere.


What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?

Venus has the thickest carbon dioxide atmosphere.


Terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere?

Mars is the terrestrial planet with a thin carbon dioxide atmosphere. Venus also has an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, but it is very thick.


Where does co2 loading occur?

- carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere: - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the biosphere - part of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by body of waters


What is the Aurora borealis by?

the aurora Borealis is caused by radiation and u.v rays shining through the carbon dioxide and atmosphere. This is the right answer


What substance in the earth's atmosphere absorbs a lot of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun?

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour absorb infra-red radiation as it comes off the surface of the earth.


What are the effects of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane act to slow down the escape of infrared radiation from the atmosphere. It is this trapped radiation that warms up the planet.
