solar radiatians pass through the earth's atmosphere and are reflected by earth's surface.but due to green house gases they are trapped back tm earth which leads for earth's temperature to rise.

What is the source of heat for the lower atmosphere?
the sun
Does the atmosphere retain heat at night?
Yes it does.
What is the trapping of the heat by the atmosphere?

Is it possible to construct a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere?
is it possible to construt a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere
What part of the sun produces the majority of heat and light?
The core of the sun is so important to because with out the core will be hot
What is the purpose of an engine block in the context of a car?
An engine block is used in cars to support the components of an engine. It is also used to transfer heat from friction to the atmosphere and engine coolant.
The combustion reactions inside the engine of a rocket cause a buildup of heat and pressure. When this heat and pressure escapes into the atmosphere, what force is created?
Thrust (apex)

Why heat absorbed by the engine must be discharged?
Why does heat get absorbed by the engine must be discharged??The reason why heat is absorbed by the engine must be discharged to the atmosphere in one way or another because the engine will become overheated and eventually seize up and this is why a cooling system is built into the engine to cool it and prevent overheating.This is answered by J.G.NThank you for using this answer in what ever you need it for.
Does good radiators gain or lose heat easily?
Yes to both--they gain heat from the source, and lose heat to the atmosphere. They have to be able to do both; if the radiator in your car couldn't absorb heat from the coolant, it wouldn't cool the engine properly.
Describe how radiation.conductionconvection heat up atmosphere?
describe how radiation,conduction,and convection heat up atmosphere?
How much energy does a car engine have?
A car engine is technically a heat engine that has no energy of its own but it converts the chemical energy in the fuels into heat and then into kinetic energy by turning a rotating shaft. The chemicals that react to make the engine work consists of carbon and hydrogen from the gasoline in the fuel tank, and oxygen taken from the atmosphere. The carbon reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and heat, while the hydrogen reacts with oxygen to produce water and heat.
What is the difference between carnot heat engine and a heat engine?
difference schematic diagram between carnot heat engine and heat engine
Which term describes a machine that converts heat into work?
Heat Engine Heat Engine
What is the measure of the amount of heat energy in the atmosphere?
The measure of heat in a given place is called the temperature.
