What is the significance of the atmospheric mass of Earth in relation to climate change and global warming?
The atmospheric mass of Earth plays a crucial role in climate change and global warming. It determines the amount of greenhouse gases that can be held in the atmosphere, which in turn affects the Earth's temperature. An increase in atmospheric mass can lead to a buildup of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which trap heat and contribute to global warming. This highlights the importance of monitoring and managing atmospheric mass to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
Is meteor a noun?
Yes, the word 'meteor' is a noun; a word for a piece of rock traveling through space that can be seen burning when it enters the Earth's atmosphere; a word for a thing.
What things affect the atmosphere?
Various factors can affect Earth's atmosphere, including greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, natural events like volcanic eruptions, and global climate patterns such as El Niño. Human activities like deforestation and industrial processes can also contribute to changes in the atmosphere, impacting weather patterns and overall climate.
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.
Why is Mars' atmosphere so thin compared to Earth's?
Mars' atmosphere is thin compared to Earth's because it lost much of its atmosphere over time due to factors like its smaller size, weaker gravity, and lack of a strong magnetic field to protect it from solar wind erosion.
In terms of safety and the environment what is one positive thing about nuclear power plant?
They don't emit greenhouse gases, as the burning of fossil fuels does
What is needed for the greenhouse affect?
The greenhouse effect needs:An atmosphere that contains greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc.Heat from the sun (ultraviolet radiation) that warms the earth.Heat from the warm earth (infrared radiation) that rises into the atmosphere and is captured by the greenhouse gases.The greenhouse effect is a good thing. If we didn't have it the earth would be too cold for us to live on. The problem now is that we have added too much greenhouse gas, and the atmosphere is trapping too much heat causing global warming. This global warming causes climate change.
How greenhouse gases can be both good for life on earth as well as harmful?
Greenhouse gases aren't a bad thing without them it would be too cold on Earth for most living things to survive
Where can you find greenhouse gas?
Trapped in the earth atmosphere.Answer:They are equally distributed throughout the Earth's atmosphere. They are emitted from living thing, decomposing things, thawing permafrost, volcanos, forest fires, burning hydrocarbon fuel and the ocean.
How are ozone and greenhouse gases different?
Ozone is a green house gas. But other greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.
Do the emissions from vehicles cause global warming?
Yes, Most cars run on petroleum, a fossil fuel. When fossil fuel is burnt it releases the carbon that has been stored in it for millions of years. This carbon dioxide adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.A:They burn fossil fuels (ie, petrol or natural gas) which in turn releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a known greenhouse gas and too high levels of it in the atmosphere 'traps' the sun's heat which otherwise would be reflected back into space. Green house gases comes from many sources. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes them. Fossil fuels are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil.
A major influence on climate?
Well, darling, a major influence on climate is human activity, like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. Mother Nature herself plays a big role too, with natural occurrences such as volcanic eruptions and solar radiation. So, to sum it up in a nutshell, it's a combo of us humans messing things up and nature doing its thing.
What is the greenhouse effect in a way a child can understand?
Gases like the air we breathe float up into the sky all around us. Some of these gases are good at catching the heat from the sun. We call them greenhouse gases and the main one is the carbon gas. They stay around and keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect and it is a good thing. We have had the natural greenhouse effect since before humans started living on earth.But now a bad thing is happening. Every time a factory uses its machines, or we drive a car or a truck, or even use electricity in our homes, people have to burn coal or oil to make it all happen. And burning coal and oil puts too much of these greenhouse gases into the air.Another mistake was cutting down too many trees. Trees and bushes can suck in that carbon gas and store it safely inside the wood. So now there are not enough trees to suck in the carbon any more.So because of these two things, burning oil, and cutting down trees, the natural greenhouse effect that we used to have has turned into the runaway greenhouse effect getting faster and faster. This is making the earth too warm.
Are greenhouse gases a good thing?
The natural greenhouse effect means that the earth is warm enough for life because of the greenhouse gases. This is a good thing. But too much greenhouse gas, which is happening now because we are still burning fossil fuels and have cut down too many forests, is causing Global Warming and climate change.A:Yes and no. Enough greenhouse gases would make Earth warm and comfortable for us to live. Too much would cause much of what we love to slowly melt, like homes bordering the beaches, because glaciers and ice caps are melting and increasing sea levels.
How much of a role in global warming do humans play?
This depends on your point of view. If the Oregon Report is correct (which I believe it is) there is no such thing as global warming, On the other hand, most climate scientists say that recent global warming and climate change are caused substantially by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), manufacturing cement and deforestation.
What is earth's atmosphere that sustain life?
Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of gases that surrounds the planet and sustains life by providing oxygen for humans and other living organisms to breathe, regulating the temperature through greenhouse gases that trap heat, protecting from harmful solar radiation, and facilitating the water cycle through processes like evaporation and condensation.
What is made up of a mixture of gases?
The most important thing that's a mixture of gasses is our atmosphere.
