Venus
What else can I help you with?
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere influences the Earth's surface temperature by?
absorbing heat energy
Which planet has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures?
Venus has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and high surface temperatures, with an average surface temperature of about 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme greenhouse effect is due to the trapping of heat by the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What gas is present in the atmosphere of venus that explain its high surface temperature?
high concentration of carbon dioxide
How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
What generalization can you make about the relationship of temperature to the amount of carbon dioxide in the air?
The more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the higher the temperature.
Is carbon dioxide in rain water?
All rain and surface water absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
What is the major component of Venus's atmosphere?
The atmosphere of Venus consists mainly of carbon dioxide, and a small amount of nitrogen. The thick cloud cover is composed of sulfur dioxide and sulfuric acid droplets. Due to the dense atmosphere, the surface temperature ranges from 750 to 930 degrees Fahrenheit (398 to 498 Celsius). The surface pressure is 90 times that of Earth. That's like being one kilometer (more than half a mile) under the ocean.
What is the rise in temperature due to an increase in carbon dioxide called?
The increase in temperature due to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface.
What planet has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere?
Venus has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, making up about 96.5% of its atmosphere. This high concentration of carbon dioxide contributes to the intense greenhouse effect on the planet, resulting in surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
How can an atmosphere affect the temperature of the planet surface?
The atmosphere moderates temperature changes, keeping the surface warm at night and cool in the day. Without an atmosphere on Earth the temperature would probably go from about +100 degrees to -100 degrees every 24 hours. The atmosphere keeps it nicely within a range of ten degrees usually. Carbon dioxide allows radiant heat through to the Earth's surface but blocks heat being radiated away from the surface which is at a relatively low temperature. So it produces a 'greenhouse' effect which raises the surface temperature, but only by a little at present. On Venus, which has a 95% carbon dioxide atmosphere, the greenhouse effect has made the surface temperature 400-500 degrees C.
Will you be living on Venus?
No way. Atmosphere of Carbon Dioxide with no Oxygen. Surface temperature of 860 Degrees Fahrenheit. No human will ever live on Venus.
What would happen to the temperature of the atmosphere if carbon dioxide increase due to human activity?
It will rise. The temperature of the atmosphere is rising already because carbon dioxide is increasing due to human activity.
