Is meteor a noun?
Yes, the word 'meteor' is a noun; a word for a piece of rock traveling through space that can be seen burning when it enters the Earth's atmosphere; a word for a thing.
What do astronauts bring to space?
Any Thing that is grown in a greenhouse and doesnt really need oxygen.
What is earth like?
The atmosphere is composed of air. You and I are both surrounded by it, and we would die very quickly from lack of oxygen (among other problems) if we weren't. That being the case, you can observe what the atmosphere is like quite easily. You're in it.
What things affect the atmosphere?
well that is a very good question but it kinda depends what the 'thing' is. :/
What side does the sun shine?
All sides. The entire thing is a huge ball of flames, burning (Or shining) on all sides.
In terms of safety and the environment what is one positive thing about nuclear power plant?
They don't emit greenhouse gases, as the burning of fossil fuels does
What is needed for the greenhouse affect?
The greenhouse effect needs:An atmosphere that contains greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc.Heat from the sun (ultraviolet radiation) that warms the earth.Heat from the warm earth (infrared radiation) that rises into the atmosphere and is captured by the greenhouse gases.The greenhouse effect is a good thing. If we didn't have it the earth would be too cold for us to live on. The problem now is that we have added too much greenhouse gas, and the atmosphere is trapping too much heat causing global warming. This global warming causes climate change.
How greenhouse gases can be both good for life on earth as well as harmful?
Greenhouse gases aren't a bad thing without them it would be too cold on Earth for most living things to survive
Where can you find greenhouse gas?
Trapped in the earth atmosphere.Answer:They are equally distributed throughout the Earth's atmosphere. They are emitted from living thing, decomposing things, thawing permafrost, volcanos, forest fires, burning hydrocarbon fuel and the ocean.
How are ozone and greenhouse gases different?
Ozone is a green house gas. But other greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.
Do the emissions from vehicles cause global warming?
Yes, Most cars run on petroleum, a fossil fuel. When fossil fuel is burnt it releases the carbon that has been stored in it for millions of years. This carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.A:They burn fossil fuels (ie, petrol or natural gas) which in turn releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a known greenhouse gas and too high levels of it in the atmosphere 'traps' the sun's heat which otherwise would be reflected back into space. Green house gases comes from many sources. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes them. Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil.
What is the greenhouse effect in a way a child can understand?
Gases like the air we breathe float up into the sky all around us. Some of these gases are good at catching the heat from the sun. We call them greenhouse gases and the main one is the carbon gas. They stay around and keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect and it is a good thing. We have had the natural greenhouse effect since before humans started living on earth.But now a bad thing is happening. Every time a factory uses its machines, or we drive a car or a truck, or even use electricity in our homes, people have to burn coal or oil to make it all happen. And burning coal and oil puts too much of these greenhouse gases into the air.Another mistake was cutting down too many trees. Trees and bushes can suck in that carbon gas and store it safely inside the wood. So now there are not enough trees to suck in the carbon any more.So because of these two things, burning oil, and cutting down trees, the natural greenhouse effect that we used to have has turned into the runaway greenhouse effect getting faster and faster. This is making the earth too warm.
Are greenhouse gases a good thing?
The natural greenhouse effect means that the earth is warm enough for life because of the greenhouse gases. This is a good thing. But too much greenhouse gas, which is happening now because we are still burning fossil fuels and have cut down too many forests, is causing Global Warming and climate change.A:Yes and no. Enough greenhouse gases would make Earth warm and comfortable for us to live. Too much would cause much of what we love to slowly melt, like homes bordering the beaches, because glaciers and ice caps are melting and increasing sea levels.
Does the greenhouse effect affect global warming?
Global Warming is a serous issue weather it be man made or natural. The Greenhouse effect and Global Warming are basically the same thing. When you drive your car or when leaves fall to the ground and decay they release a gas compound call Co2. The Co2 thickens the atmosphere letting less and less of the suns light energy escape back into space. A greenhouse works much like this but it insted of gases it uses glass the trap the suns energy.
What is earth's atmosphere that sustain life?
Although both nitrogen and oxygen are essential to human life on the planet, they have little effect on weather and other atmospheric processes. The variable components, which make up far less than 1 percent of the atmosphere, have a much greater influence on both short-term weather and long-term climate. For example, variations in water vapor in the atmosphere are familiar to us as relative humidity. Water vapor, CO2, CH4, N2O, and SO2 all have an important property: they absorb heat emitted by the earth and thus warm the atmosphere, creating what we call the "greenhouse effect." Without these so-called greenhouse gases, the surface of the earth would be about 30 degrees Celsius cooler - too cold for life to exist as we know it. Though the greenhouse effect is sometimes portrayed as a bad thing, trace amounts of gases like CO2 warm our planet's atmosphere enough to sustain life.Global warming, on the other hand, is a separate process that can be caused by increased amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What Is terrestrial radiation and How does it differ from solar radiation?
They are essentially the same thing. Solar radiation from the sun is made up of two components: (1) direct solar raidation; and (2) diffuse solar radiation. Global radiation refers to the sum of direct and diffuse fractions.
What is made up of a mixture of gases?
The most important thing that's a mixture of gasses is our atmosphere.
