By radiation. The moon radiates electromagnetic energy, as does just about anything warmer than absolute zero.

Where is center of mass of earth at atmosphere?

The center of mass of Earth is located beneath the surface of the Earth, about 4,671 kilometers (2,900 miles) away from its surface. This means it is not within the atmosphere, which extends only a few hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface.


Why does the lunar surface gets extremely hot in the daylight?

The lunar surface gets extremely hot in the daylight because there is no atmosphere to regulate the temperature. The surface absorbs a lot of sunlight and then retains that heat due to the lack of an atmosphere to conduct or convect it away. This leads to the surface temperature rising significantly during the lunar day.


What causes the earths atmosphere to lose energy?

The Earth's atmosphere loses energy primarily through radiation, as it emits heat energy in the form of infrared radiation into space. Additionally, energy is lost through processes like convection and conduction, where heat is transferred to the surface and then dissipated. Atmospheric phenomena such as precipitation and cloud formation also contribute to energy loss by transporting heat away from the surface. Lastly, interactions with solar winds and cosmic radiation can further deplete atmospheric energy.


What does the gravity do to the atmosphere?

Answer: It keeps up from being crushed from the atmosphere around us... it also keeps us from floating away and helps keep the earth the right temp. Answer: Gravity keeps the atmosphere around the planet in the first place.

What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?

Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.


How does air density change throughout the atmosphere?

Air density is higher near the surface of the Earth. As you climb away from the surface, the pressure decreases.


Why does the atmosphere of the Earth float above the planet's surface?

The atmosphere of Earth is held in place by gravity. Gravity pulls air molecules towards Earth's surface, creating atmospheric pressure that keeps the atmosphere from floating away into space.

When a sound from a source is refacted away from the surface of the earth it gives an indication that?

the sound wave has traveled through layers of the atmosphere with different densities, causing it to bend away from the surface. This refraction phenomenon can occur due to variations in temperature, wind speed, and pressure at different altitudes in the atmosphere.

How does Pluto's atmosphere effect the temperature of Pluto?

Pluto's atmosphere consists of a very thin surface of methane, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide, made from the ice on its surface. As Pluto moves away from the Sun, its atmosphere gradually freezes and falls to the ground. As it gets closer to the Sun, the temperature of Pluto's surface increases, causing the ice to turn into gas. This creates an "anti greenhouse" effect cooling the surface of Pluto.


How is air pressure effected by altitude?

With a higher altitude, there is a lower air pressure. This is caused by gravity pulling the gas molecules of our atmosphere closer to its surface. when the molecules are farther away from the Earth's surface the gravitational pull is weaker thus making the atmosphere thinner higher up and thicker closer to the surface.

What is an example of energy being transferred?

When sunlight hits the surface of the Earth, some of the energy is transferred to plants through photosynthesis. This energy is then passed on to animals that eat the plants for food, and so the energy is transferred through the food chain.


Why foot prints made on the moons surface will remain forever why?

because there is no atmosphere which means no wind so there footprints cant be blown away.
