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.
What is the way the suns energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What happens when the earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
The suns energy when it reaches the earth's atmosphere encounters earth's plasma and three things happens. Some of the energy is reflected , some is absorbed and the rest is transmitted to the earth.
What creates earths motion?
the suns gravity pull creates the earths movement as well as the other planets
What happens after the suns rays hit the earth?
They are either reflected, some hitting clouds others caught by particles in the atmosphere or continue on back in to space - or they are absorbed as heat energy
The phenomenon of the atmosphere trapping the suns energy is known as?
the greenhouse effect
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
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.
3 layers of the suns atmosphere?
well the suns pressure and the earths atmosphere
How does the Greenhouse Effect affect the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect helps the atmosphere by keeping the suns rays on earth acting like a bubble letting sun light in but trapping as it tries to bounce of earths surface keeping earth warm
Is the suns energy completely absorbed by the atmosphere?
No it is not.
How does the suns energy trapped in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.

Does the earths atmosphere reflect the suns radiation back into space?
Yes, about 30% of it goes back.
What are three things that happen to the Suns radiation as it moves through the earths atmosphere?
Your mom is the answer to my std.
What causes the air in atmosphere to be unevenly warmed?
The suns energy
Where do heterotrophs get the glucose they need for cellular respiration?
They get their energy by trapping the suns light with their leaves and reflet in to other plants.
