How does a space blanket reduce heat?
A space blanket reduces heat loss by reflecting a person's body heat back towards them, rather than allowing it to escape. The reflective material on the blanket helps to trap heat and keep the person warm by creating a barrier to prevent heat loss through radiation.
What insulates our earth from the deep cold of space?
Our atmosphere helps keep our planet insulated. It helps to trap heat on the surface instead of allowing it to be completely reflected back into space.
What is the function the atmosphere?
to trap heat from the sun to shield the planet from harmful radiation and to disintigrate space debris before it reaches the surface
Why isent mercury the hotest planet?
Mercury, even though the closest planet to the sun, isn't the hottest planet because of the thing it lacks and that most planets have, an atmosphere. Venus is the hottest planet, the reason?... Venus's atmosphere. What makes its atmosphere special? It is 92 times as dense as Earths atmosphere and consists of 98% carbon dioxide. These properties make Venus's atmosphere like a magnifying glass that has the same diameter as the sun and the magnification power of an electron microscope, and a heat blanket that is so ridiculous that there isn't even a simile for it.
Heat from the sun?
The heat from the sun is generated by nuclear fusion in its core, where hydrogen atoms are converted into helium. This heat is then radiated out into space in the form of sunlight, warming our planet and providing the energy that drives Earth's climate and weather systems.
How does a greenhouse effect affect a planet?
A greenhouse effect traps heat that would otherwise escape out to space, so it keeps the planet warm.
Does the atmosphere allow heat to escape quickly in order to cool the planet?
No the atmosphere does not allow heat to escape quickly to cool the planet
Does re-radiation help heat earth?
Yes, re-radiation, or the reflection of heat energy back to Earth's surface, plays a role in heating the planet. Greenhouse gases trap some of the sun's heat that would otherwise escape back into space, leading to an increase in Earth's temperature. This trapping of heat is essential for maintaining the planet's average temperature suitable for life.
What method of energy transfer is primarily responsible for energy being lost from Earth to space?
The primary method of energy transfer that causes energy to be lost from Earth to space is thermal radiation. This is when the Earth emits infrared radiation into space, which allows heat to escape from the planet into the surrounding environment.
Why mercury is not the hottest planet in Solar System?
Because it has no atmosphere and thus no greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases absorbs infrared heat emitted by an object and redistribute the energy throughout out a planet. Since there are no greenhouse gases present on Mercury, the energy absorbed by the planet can also escape the planet at a much greater rate into the vacuum that is space, thus keeping the surface temperature of the planet well below freezing
What is the process by which heat is trapped beneath the thick clouds of a planet?
the process is called global warming or green house effect where heat is trapped under greenhouse gasses and not allowed to escape into space thus increasing the global heat of the planet this effect can be seen in superlative terms in oue solar system in VENUS
Why is Mercury the hottest planet in the solar system?

3. What atmospheric compounds affect the ability of heat to escape from Earth?
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, which affects the ability of heat to escape to space. These gases absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, leading to warming of the planet. Increased levels of greenhouse gases due to human activities are contributing to global warming and climate change.
What to wear if you was on planet venus?
a high tec space suit because of the extream heat and pressure!!
How does the mesosphere help protect earth?
The mesosphere helps protect Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation and breaking down meteoroids that enter the atmosphere. It also plays a role in regulating the temperature of the planet by allowing heat to escape into space.
How can this heat be reused or recycled?
condensation
When does evaporation takes place?
When the molecules of liquids don't have enough space to escape the heat, the liquid then evaporated in the air.
