What energy transformation is responsible for the fiery reentry of the space shuttle into earth's atmosphere?
The kinetic energy of the space shuttle is converted into thermal energy due to friction with the Earth's atmosphere during reentry. This intense heat causes the surrounding air to glow and create the fiery appearance.
What is the source of most of the atmosphere energy?
Complicated question, with many details to think about... But in short, gravitational power in connection earth and air combined with light from the sun. Hot air goes up, and thereby change the presure... Cold air head for the low presure areas... And alot of wind is being generated... This is the cause for most of the energy. But there are many other factors too giving energy to the atmosphere to a less extent... Northern light is nice too, but there the energy also comes from the sun, but via ions end electric fields in combination with the magnetic field created in the ground under influence of the gravitation in connection to the the moon. And there is light and cosmic radiation etc... Another source of energy for the atmosphere is comming from earth itself... Radioactive decay and also solidification of the molten part of the inner earth releases energy in the form of heat. In turn giving some extra energy for the atmosphere.
What is a brief burst of energy from the sun's photosphere?
A brief burst of energy from the sun's photosphere is known as a solar flare. Solar flares are sudden and intense releases of magnetic energy, resulting in high-energy radiation being emitted into space. They can affect Earth's atmosphere and disrupt communication systems and satellite operations.
Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature out of all the atmosphere levels?
The thermosphere has the highest temperatures in the atmosphere due to its absorption of high-energy solar radiation, particularly ultraviolet and X-ray radiation. This energy excites the sparse gas molecules present in this layer, causing their kinetic energy—and thus temperature—to increase significantly. Additionally, the thermosphere is less dense than lower atmospheric layers, allowing energy to accumulate without being dissipated by collisions with other molecules. As a result, temperatures can soar to over 2,500 degrees Celsius (4,500 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher.
Could the moon have an artificial atmosphere?
No, the moon could no keep an atmosphere if one were created.
What is the term that refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
convection
What term refers to the sun's energy being trapped in our atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect
How does carbon move from being trapped in fossil fuels to the atmosphere?
When fossil fuels are burned for energy, carbon that was stored in them is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
How is the atmosphere of the earth similar to being covered by a blanket at night?
Heat is trapped in the atmosphere (the greenhouse effect) and this keeps us warm. So does a blanket.
What is locked up carbon dioxide?
Locked up carbon dioxide refers to carbon dioxide that is trapped and stored underground in geological formations, preventing it from being released into the atmosphere. This process, known as carbon capture and storage, helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
How will the co2 get trapped under the water when the sun dies?
When the sun dies, it will expand into a red giant, causing Earth's atmosphere to be stripped away. Without an atmosphere to hold it in place, carbon dioxide and other gases will escape into space rather than being trapped under the water.
How does Earths Atmosphere Gets Energy?
Earth's atmosphere gets energy primarily from the sun. Solar radiation heats the atmosphere, creating temperature gradients and driving weather patterns. Some energy is also exchanged between the atmosphere and the Earth's surface through processes like conduction, convection, and evaporation.
What is worse being trapped in the seira or or being trapped in the Arctic?
the artic it is very cold there
How can climate have an impact on the earth?
heat energy from the sun reaches the earth in the from of radiation. Some energy is reflected back towards space. When it reaches the atmosphere some rays pass through but others are trapped. these trapped rays keep the earth warmer than otherwise. this is the GREENHOUSE EFFECT. Because the amount of cardon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased it has led to more energy being reflected back. This is GLOBAL WARMING because the Earth is getting hotter. only a few degrees Celsius rise in temperature may lead to climate change and a rise in sea levels. hpe it helped u in sme way...
What environmental issue is related to the greenhouse effect?
Global Warming... Global Warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide being trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. AKA the greenhouse effect.
How is the sunlight in the atmosphere being affected by the increased levels of CO2?
The increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are causing sunlight to be trapped, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect. This can result in changes to the Earth's climate and weather patterns.
What is direct radiation?
Direct radiation refers to solar energy that reaches the Earth's surface without being diffused or scattered by clouds, gases, or particles in the atmosphere. This type of radiation is responsible for warming the Earth and is a primary source of renewable energy for generating electricity through solar panels.
