What prevents the earth from getting too hot?

What prevents most small meteoroids from hitting Earth's surface?
the o zone
How does the transfer of energy inside earth affect its surface?
The transfer of energy inside the Earth effects its surface by warming it.
What effect would an increase in clouds have on earth's climate?
Cloud cover prevents Sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, keeping the earth cooler.Cloud cover prevents heat escaping into space, keeping the Earth warmer.
What is the source of energy that heats earth's surface?
The sun is the source of energy that heats earth's surface. Radiation from the sun comes through the atmosphere, largely unhindered, and warms the surface of the earth.
Is potential energy on the surface of earth is always zero?
That depends on what reference level you have chosen. If the (arbitrary) reference level you chose is Earth's surface, then anything on the Earth's surface has zero potential energy. If you choose some higher reference level, an object on Earth's surface has a negative potential energy. If you choose a lower reference level, an object on Earth's surface would have a positive potential energy.
How does energy from earthquake reach earth surface?
energy reachs earth surface through seismic waves: P waves S waves and Surface waves
What are the two sources of energy that heat Earth's surface?
The two sources of energy that heat Earth's surface are solar radiation from the sun and geothermal energy from within the Earth's core. Solar radiation is the primary source of energy that warms the surface, while geothermal energy contributes to heat flow from the Earth's interior.
Most solar energy that reaches earth's atmosphere is absorbed by whtat?
Most solar energy that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, such as the land, oceans, and vegetation. This absorption heats up the Earth's surface and is then radiated back into the atmosphere as heat energy.
How long energy sun take to get to earth?
Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
What absorbs most of the energy that is radiated from the earth surface?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases absorb most of the energy that is radiated from Earth's surface.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
