Which best explains how greenhouse gases heat the earth apex?
They trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by Earth
Which vast explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
They stop heat from escaping the atmosphere- apex
What best explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
they trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet
What best explains how the greenhouse gases heat the earth?
Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth. These warmed gases radiate heat in all directions, including back onto the earth, heating the atmosphere. So the heat is not lost to space, but instead builds up in the atmosphere where it heats the earth as well. they trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by the earth
Do greenhouse gases trap heat near the earth's surface?
Yes, greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
What in the earth's atmosphere absorbs heat?
Greenhouse gases.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What absorbs heat leaving earth's surface?
Greenhouse gases.
What if you did not have greenhouse gas?
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
What atmospheric gases help to heat the earth?
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
What do greenhouses gases trap?
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
