What is the purpose of a greenhouse?
A greenhouse is made of glass and you put plants in it. The sun's energy shines through and some is released as heat and is trapped by the glass from leaving. This allows plants to live/grow when the weather outside is too cold for it.
What to do if you are trapped in a glass box?
what to do if i was in a glass box? I would try to break it or else I would die later
Why does a bowl of water get hotter when you hold a magnifying glass on it?
If you are talking about a magnifying glass, the convex glass bends and concentrates the light waves and heat energy associated with those waves. Where the energy is concentrated becomes very hot. Flat or concave glass does not affect the waves. If you are talking about the inside of the car getting hot, that is because the light energy can pass through the glass and get absorbed by the material in the car, the darker the material, the more energy is absorbed. The energy absorbed from the light is them converted onto radiant heat which cannot pass through the glass and becomes trapped which allows the heat to build.
How does double glazed windows increase energy efficiency?
Because the air trapped between the two panes of glass doesn't transfer hot and cold as rapidly as glass alone. When they add gas instead of regular air, the effect is greatly improved.
How is heat trapped in a car similar to the greenhouse effect and global warming?
For the greenhouse effect: Solar energy enters the car through the window and is absorbed by the seats and dashboard of the car. The energy is then re-emitted as thermal energy (infrared waves) but is trapped by the glass of the window. The process is very similar to how water vapor and other "greenhouse gases" keep our planet warm enough for abundant life.

How does double glazzing keep in heat?
Generally, all types of double glazing windows has one thing in common- trapped air. The trapped air between the two panes creates an insulation between the inside & outside environment & completely separates them. It reduces noise pollution at a great extent. Any temperature fluctuations are drastically reduced as the trapped air between the two panes dont allows the heat to pass. Example is Pilkington K Glass. Generally, conservatories in Bedfordshire in UK uses Pilkington K Glass as the double glazing material.
Why does it become hot inside your car in physics terms?
Solar energy enters car through window and heats the inside. The longer wave heat is trapped by the window glass and thus raises the inside temperature. This is local warming model, with the glass playing the role of carbon.
Recycling paper glass and aluminum is?
conserves resources and lessens pollution.
Use moth in a sentence?
Brian trapped the moth under a glass, then released it outside.
Why is potential energy the energy of a glass on a table?
Because the glass is not have any other energy, so it has the potential for energy. Potato. Apple. -I_Am_Boss
Why are solar cookers covered by a glass plate?
This effect results in the heating of enclosed spaces into which the sun shines through a transparent material such as glass or plastic. Visible light easily passes through the glass and is absorbed and reflected by materials within the enclosed space. The light energy that is absorbed by dark pots and the dark absorber plate underneath the pots is converted into longer wavelength heat energy and radiates from the interior materials. Most of this radiant energy, because it is of a longer wavelength, cannot pass back out through the glass and is therefore trapped within the enclosed space.
