What happens to the visible radiation produced by new stars within a molecular cloud?
It is absorbed by dust grains and heats up the cloud.
What helps maintain earths surface temperature?
The Sun heats up the Earth At least, mostly It heats up the molecules in the air, which also explains why it's colder the higher you are- there are less air molecules for the Sun to heat up
The Sun unevenly heats the minerals in a rock causing the rock to break. This is an example of?
If the sun unevenly heats the minerals in a rock causing the rock to break, it is an example of physical weathering.
What heats up the atmosphere here?
By here I presume you mean earth, the sun heats the atmosphere directly, but also heats objects which in turn also give off heat to the atmosphere
What nonrenewable natural resource heats homes?
Natural Gas heats homes cuz its nonrenewable,and natural resource.DUH!

Where does rain com from?
The sea gets hot by the sun and the heats the water making evaporation and then making a condensed cloud then the cloud moves and the cloud is getting very heavy so it rains and the goes back inti the sea and rivers and repeats.
What trigger nuclear fusion in stars?
A star forms from a cloud of gas and dust that collapses under the force of gravity. As the cloud becomes more compressed it heats up, eventually becoming hot enough to fuse hydrogen.

What clouds makes rain?
When it rains it shows that the cloud has stored enough water. It starts by sucking up water also known as evaporation. then the Sun heats it up more and as it slowly cools down it becomes a cloud. Then after the cloud reaches it's compasity it will rain somewhere.
What best explains the differences in temperature between the ocean and the sand?
Water both heats up and cools down at a slower rate than land.

What makes things evaporate?
The sun heats a liquid and it turns into water vapor which condensates into a cloud. Then it rains (or percipitates) and the process starts all over!
What type of temperature of the star if it is red?
Low temperature because red giants are star with low temperatures, but very bright. A star forms when a portion of a dense interstellar cloud of hydrogen and dust grains collapses from its own gravity. As the cloud condenses, its density and internal temperature increase until it is hot enough to trigger nuclear fusion in its core (if not, it becomes a brown dwarf). After hydrogen is exhausted in the core from nuclear burning, the core shrinks and heats up while the star's outer layers expand significantly and cool, and the star becomes a red giant.
Which best explains why insulators keep heat in and cold out?
fire also warms the air around it by convection.this warmed air then moves through the room and heats it by conveection
