How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
What factor contributed to the formation of earths early atmosphere?
energy from the sun,lightening,earths heat triggered chemical reaction for the early gases of the earth combined
What is the distance from earth's surface to the end of earths atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere extends anywhere from 250-400 miles off the surface, depending on where you are standing. Near the equator, it is thicker due to the heat from the surface and cloud reflection, and the high moisture and humidity.
Heat energy generated within the earth is called what?
my answer is the heat energy is magmaThe heat energy in earths crust is geothermal energy
What factor increases as you go deeper toward earths core?
Heat
How does the Suns energy affect earths atmosphere?
Heat!!
What happens if the suns pulse hit earth?
it will destroy earths atmosphere and the heat of it penetrates one mile and kills all of the people on earth
What Would Happen If More Of The Suns Heat Became More Trapped in Earths Atmosphere and less heat was released in space?
The Earth would start to heat up and the ocean would evaporate.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
How do greenhouse gases trap heat in earths atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by allowing sunlight to pass through and heat the Earth's surface. The surface then emits infrared radiation, which is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. This absorption and re-emission process effectively traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to an overall warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
What is it called when heat energy gets trapped in earths atmosphere?
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
Why is Venus extremely hot?
The thick atmosphere of Venus acts like a blanket, similar to the green house effect, and traps the suns heat extremely well.
What is it called when the suns heat is trapped by carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere causing global warming?
This phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in global temperatures known as global warming.
HOW DOES SUN ENERGY AFFECT EARTHS ATMOSPHERE?
Heat!!
Is there pictures of the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is merely a process of trapping carbon inside the earths atmosphere causing the earth to heat up. You can't take a picture of air can you?
