What is this trapping of heat called?
The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is called when trapping heat by the atmosphere of Venus?
Greenhouse effect. The same effect that keeps Earth warmer than if there would be no atmosphere: without an atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth would be below zero Celsius.
Greenhouse gases are -trapping gases?
Heat-trapping gases.
The greenhouse effect is a direct result of?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trapping the sun's heat. Geenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane become warm from infra-red heat given off by the warmed earth.
What is the result of increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas. At present concentrations, it helps maintain global temperatures at a level that is comfortable for humans and other animals that have adapted to the present climate. Increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can result in global warming, by trapping more heat. This occurs when humans burn fossil fuels, manufacture cement of destroy forests.
What is the trapping of heat by an atmosphere called?
global warming
what is the trapping of heat by earth's atmosphere?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
What is the trapping of the heat of venus' atmosphere called?
The "greenhouse effect."
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to?
The heat trapping ability of some gases in the atmosphere can be compared to a glass greenhouse's ability to trap heat. Thus, the term "greenhouse effect" was created.
Can a planet with no atmosphere have a greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is a consequence of heat-trapping gasses.
What function is performed by earth atmosphere?
Earth's temperature is raised and moderated by trapping in heat.
which function is performed by earth’s atmosphere?
Earth's temperature is raised and moderated by trapping in heat.
What is this trapping of heat called?
The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.
Increased carbon dioxide may cause global warming by?
trapping more heat in the atmosphere :)
How is the energy from the sun reflected by the atmosphere?
The Suns rays reflect of the Earth, then off the outer shell of the atmosphere, temporarily trapping sunlight and heat.
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).
How do greenhouse gases trap heat in earths atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases aren't trapping heat it but letting more in. The Earth's atmosphere blocks out most of the suns heat and harmful rays. With the gases polluting the world, the atmosphere is slowly weakening, letting more and more heat through.
