The degree of heat in the atmosphere, or temperature, varies widely depending on location, altitude, and time of year. It is influenced by factors such as solar radiation, geographic features, and weather patterns. Generally, temperatures can range from extremely cold in polar regions to very hot in deserts, with the average global surface temperature being around 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). Local conditions and climate zones create a diverse range of atmospheric temperatures worldwide.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly at night as the moon does?
The Earth retains heat better due to its thicker atmosphere and higher heat capacity compared to the moon. The atmosphere acts as a barrier, trapping heat on Earth, while the moon has no atmosphere to retain heat, causing rapid heat loss at night.
How do the three types of heat transfer work together to heat the atmosphere?
The three types of heat transfer that work together to heat the atmosphere are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction transfers heat from the Earth's surface to the lower atmosphere through direct contact. Convection carries heat upward through the atmosphere by warm air rising and cool air sinking. Radiation from the sun warms the Earth's surface, which then radiates heat back into the atmosphere. Together, these processes create a dynamic system that helps regulate the temperature of the atmosphere.
Can a planet with no atmosphere have a greenhouse effect?
No, a planet without an atmosphere cannot have a greenhouse effect because the atmosphere is necessary to trap heat and create the warming effect. Without an atmosphere, there is no mechanism to retain heat and create the greenhouse effect.
Why the moon is colder?
No atmosphere to retain heat
What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?
Friction between the space shuttle and the atmosphere generates heat during reentry. The high speeds at which the shuttle travels cause air molecules to compress and heat up, leading to the fiery heat shield protecting the spacecraft.
Is it possible to construct a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere?
is it possible to construt a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere
Will a palm fern withstand 90 degree heat and direct sunlight?
Yes; The more they lose their water in the atmosphere, is the more they gets water from the soil through their roots.
How does heat enter the atmosphere?
Heat enters the Earth's atmosphere primarily through the absorption of sunlight by the Earth's surface, which warms up and then radiates heat back into the atmosphere. Other sources of heat entering the atmosphere include human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, which release heat-trapping greenhouse gases.
What does spcific heat mean?
A certain heat degree.
Why does the earth not lose its heat as quickly at night as the moon does?
The Earth retains heat better due to its thicker atmosphere and higher heat capacity compared to the moon. The atmosphere acts as a barrier, trapping heat on Earth, while the moon has no atmosphere to retain heat, causing rapid heat loss at night.
Can you give examples of how the atmosphere moves heat energy around?
The heat energy is moved around by the suttle atmosphere winds
What is degree of heat?
There is no degree Fahrenheit for heat.
Temperature on the moon can range from -173 degree C at night to plus 127 degree C in the daytime. How do you you explain the vast difference in day and night temperature?
The moon lacks an atmosphere to retain heat, so it cannot trap heat received during the day. This causes temperatures to drop rapidly at night when the sun is no longer shining, leading to the extreme temperature swings between day and night.
How does conduction heat the atmosphere?
Conduction heats the atmosphere by transfer of heat from the Earth's surface to the lower atmosphere through direct contact. As the Earth's surface gets heated by the sun, it transfers some of that heat to the air molecules in contact with it. This process helps warm the lower atmosphere.
Would Venus weigh more with the heat and gas in the atmosphere?
The heat would make no difference, but the atmosphere would increase the weight.
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
Is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.
