What causes the air in atmosphere to be unevenly warmed?
The suns energy
How the suns warmth spreads around the globe?
Sun warms the Earth (and the water); Earth (and water) warms the air. Edit: The simple answer is that the atmosphere and the oceans spread heat around the Earth, because they are fluids.
When air warms air particles move closer together?
When air warms up, the air particles gain energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and farther apart, not closer together. This increase in kinetic energy leads to the expansion of air molecules and a decrease in air density.
What is the main source of energy that warms air and causes wind throughout the world?
the sun
Does temperature decrease when air warms?
No, temperature does not decrease when air warms; instead, it increases. When air warms, the kinetic energy of the air molecules increases, which raises the temperature. However, in certain atmospheric conditions, such as during the process of adiabatic cooling, rising air can expand and cool, leading to a decrease in temperature despite the surrounding warming air.
What is the suns relationship to wind and water energy?
The sun provides the energy for all weather on earth.Wind. The sun's radiation warms the earth and atmosphere causing warm air to rise. Wind is produced when more air rushes in to fill the space below the rising air. Wind turbines capture the energy of the moving wind.Water. The sun powers the water cycle that lifts water into the atmosphere where it falls as rain or snow. This then flows into rivers and hydroelectric dams where the energy is collected.
What term refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
Warm air. The greenhouse effect. Weather.
What happens to the suns energy that does reach earth?
Some is absorbed by the earths air water and soil. The remainder is reflected.
What is the original energy store used by a heater?
The original energy store used by a heater is electrical energy. This energy is converted into heat energy by the heating element in the heater, which then warms up the surrounding air or space.
As the air on the surface of earth warms does its density increase or decrease?
As air on Earth's surface warms, its density decreases because the air molecules gain energy and move farther apart. This decrease in density is why warm air tends to rise, as it is less dense than the cooler air around it.
What does the sun's energy have to do with the weather?
The heat from the energy warms
If a suns ray fell onto an apple what energy is that?
If a suns ray hits an apple what energy would that be
