Describe the green house effect and it's effect on the earth's climate?
Certain gases present in the atmosphere like CO2 ,CH4 absorb the sun's heat and keep the planet warm this is known as greenhouse effect It increases the temperature of the earth it keeps the earth warm during night
What heats up the earth during the day and what cools it down at night?
The suns radiation heats up the earth during the day
Does the atmosphere change climate?
It keeps the temperature of our planet i.e. the Earth fairly steady. During daytime, the atmosphere prevents the sudden increase of temperature. During night time, it slows down the escape of heat into outer space. On the moon due to the absence of the atmosphere the temperature there ranges from -190 to 110 degrees.
Can geothermal energy make electricity only during the even hours?
No, geothermal can use the heat of the earth day and night.
What would happen if the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased?
The atmosphere would become much smaller and the earth would become much colder during winter and also at night.
What keeps the earth from becoming to hot during the day and to cold at night?
The atmosphere is responsible for absorbing excessive incoming solar energy, keeping the earth at an average temperature of approximately 15 degrees Celsius and preventing rapid changes in temperature.
Is it usually cooler during the day or at night?
During the night, because the Sun is not shining on us the way that it does during daytime. And, of course, the Sun is what keeps us warm and alive! ;)
How does night turns to day?
Simple, as the sun is in one direction, only half of the earth can see the sun but as the earth rotates on its axis, this half keeps moving and you get day and night
Why do you have a day and night cycle?
The Reason for a cycle of day and night is all based on the rotation of the earth. During the day, the part of the earth where you are located is facing the sun, and during the night, the part of the earth where you are located is facing away from the sun.
Can Saturn be seen from earth during your night?
no you can't
Why does the earth's temperature rise during the day and fall at night?
During the day, Earth is exposed to the heat from the Sun and it heats up. At night it is in the shadow and it loses heat.
How does the earth cool down during night?
Heat (infra red radiation) radiates into space at night, cooling the earth.
Where is the earth's moon during the night?
In orbit, same as it is during the day as well.

Does the sun rays directly reach the earth during night?
Sure. But they don't fall on the part of earth that's experiencing night.
What keeps the earth at a comfortable temperature?
Earth rotates quickly on its axes,causing day & night to follow each other in a short period of time.
Why is it warmer during the day than the night?
the day is warmer than it is at night is because, during the day the sun gives out heat waves (this is called radiation) to the earth. But at night the sun radiation is shining at the oppsite of the earth.
