How does energy transfer from the sun to earth and the atmosphere?
it goes throgh the atmosphere and enter the other plsnts to get to the energy that we need on earth
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
What is the benefit of the atmosphere trapping energy from the sun?
The benefit of the atmosphere trapping energy from the sun is to keep Earth warm.
Why doesn't all of the energy from the sun that enters the atmosphere reach the Earth?
The atmosphere reflects some of the energy back into space.
Why can elements produced in the sun but not in the earth atmosphere?
The earth's atmosphere is not hot enough for thermonuclear fusion to take place.
The is process in which the atmosphere traps warming solar energy near earth' surface?
Green house effect. Correct me if I'm wrong but i am pretty sure that is correct.
What is the The warming of earth caused by atmosphere trapping thermal energy from the sun called?
greenhouse effect
Which of earth's main energy sources is at work in the warming process?
Friction and radiation from the Earth's core.
Which process causes the transfer of energy by air currents within the Earth's atmosphere?
convection
Which process causes transfer of energy by air current within earth atmosphere?
convection
The greenhouse effect is the natural warming of earth's what?
Atmosphere.
The greenhouse effect is the natural warming of Earth.?
Atmosphere.
What does the greenhouse effect refer to?
Global Warming and Heat
Do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause global warming?
Yes because the energy from the sun is not reflected back into space. It stays in Earth's atmosphere, raising global temperatures.
How can the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases cause problems with earth's energy budget?
Earth's energy budget has been balanced for thousands of years. The natural greenhouse effect allows enough heat in and out of the atmosphere to keep it warm enough for life. Additional greenhouse gases, which we are now adding to the atmosphere and causing problems with the budget and the earth is warming up. This warming is causing climate change.
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called .?
Global warming
How many human activities are warming Earth's atmosphere?
27
