Well, atmospheres help absorb heat, so it traps in heat from the sun to make it warmer, so the absence of an atmosphere on the moon affects it by making it cooler because without an atmosphere, there is no way to trap in and keep heat.

Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?

Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.


How can an atmosphere affect the temperature of the planet surface?

The atmosphere moderates temperature changes, keeping the surface warm at night and cool in the day. Without an atmosphere on Earth the temperature would probably go from about +100 degrees to -100 degrees every 24 hours. The atmosphere keeps it nicely within a range of ten degrees usually. Carbon dioxide allows radiant heat through to the Earth's surface but blocks heat being radiated away from the surface which is at a relatively low temperature. So it produces a 'greenhouse' effect which raises the surface temperature, but only by a little at present. On Venus, which has a 95% carbon dioxide atmosphere, the greenhouse effect has made the surface temperature 400-500 degrees C.


How can the hydrosphere affect the atmoshere?

The most major affect the hydrosphere has on the atmosphere would be evaporation. As water transfers between the two, it evaporates at a rate equivalent to the surface temperature of the area. As you reach the equator, the surface temperature rises, which causes more water to evaporate at the hydrosphere.

Examples: temperature, material stress, surface deffects in materials, humidity, type of atmosphere, type of alloy, unprotected surfaces.


Does the temperature of the atmosphere affect the position of your shadow and why?

Yes, the temperature of the atmosphere can affect the position of your shadow. This is because temperature can cause variations in air density, which can refract light differently and change the apparent position of shadows.


How does conduction affect the atmosphere?

Conduction affects the atmosphere by transferring heat between the Earth's surface and the air above it. During the day, the Earth's surface heats up and warms the air in contact with it through conduction. At night, this process reverses, with the Earth's surface losing heat to the cooler air. Conduction helps regulate temperature and create weather patterns in the atmosphere.


What planet has the highest average surface temperature and why?

Venus has the highest average surface temperature of any planet in our solar system, reaching about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471 degrees Celsius). This extreme temperature is due to its thick atmosphere, which is composed mainly of carbon dioxide and creates a strong greenhouse effect that traps heat.


Does temperature affect water quality?

It does not affect the quality of pure water. However, if the water is exposed to the atmosphere it will get bacteria in it and their growth will be affected by the temperature.


What affects the rates of chemical reactions?

The physical states of the reactants (gases, plasmas, liquids, solids), the temperature in which the reaction takes place and the pressure under which the reaction takes place are all factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction. Factors such as humidity, concentration and surface surface areacan also affect the reaction. The presence or absence of catalysts, the purity of reactants and many times stirring/mixing also are factors.Size of a particles.Surface area.Temperature.Size of a substances.Whether a catalyst is present or not etc.
