The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
What two things can happen to electromagnetic energy that enters the earths atmosphere?
more radiation ; bad living conditions for the people of earth
What is most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere?
Heat from the sun rising as infrared radiation from the surface of the earth.
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No. It radiates most energy back as infarred radiation.
What effect can a very large eruption have on earths climate?
It will cool the earth's surface as radiation from the sun is blocked from entering the atmosphere
What the most ultraviolet radiation is blocked from reaching earths surface by what substance found in the atmosphere?
Ozone in the atmosphere blocks most of the UV radiation from the Sun... Without it's protection - the planet would overheat.
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
