If we had no greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, Earth would be significantly colder, leading to a dramatic drop in global temperatures. Without these gases, heat from the sun would escape back into space, making it difficult for life as we know it to survive. Most ecosystems would collapse, as plants and animals would struggle to adapt to the extreme cold. Ultimately, the absence of greenhouse gases would result in a planet that is largely inhospitable to life.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the surface of Venus hot?
1) It's close to the sun. 2) thick atmosphere with lots of "green house" gases.
Name the gases present in the upper atmosphere?
The gases present in the upper atmosphere include oxygen, nitrogen, argon, and trace amounts of carbon dioxide, helium, and hydrogen.
If the atmosphere is like a green house what part will be the glass?
In the greenhouse analogy for the atmosphere, the "glass" represents gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat. These greenhouse gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere but prevent some of the heat from escaping back into space, similar to how glass retains warmth inside a greenhouse. This effect is crucial for maintaining Earth's temperature and supporting life.
Process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat?
This process is called the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface. Some of this heat is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which act like a blanket by preventing the heat from escaping back into space.
What is the trapping of heat near a planet's surface by certain gases in the planet's atmosphere?
We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is meant by green house?
Green house effect is the hypothesis that certain gases in the high atmosphere hold heat in.
Do green house gases weaken the ozone?
Yes they do, green house gases are caused by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil. These gases then 'attack' the onzone layer which creates 'holes' in the atmosphere which allows dangerous and harmful radiation into the atmosphere.
What affects the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is affected by pollution and fosil fules or perhaps green house gases.......i think :-)
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradieat heat called?
green house
What happen to the energy from the sun when is reflected or absurd by the atmosphere?
They get burned in the Green house gases
Why are green house gases causing a problem?
Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.
How is green house gases increased in atmosphere?
carbon- dioxide is a green house gas which when increased in the atmosphere causes global warming. it is released in the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels i.e. petrol, diesel, coal. trees use carbon dioxide and release oxygen so we should plant more trees to reduce green house gases in the atmosphere. hope that helps....
Having more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will do to the average temperatures in the atmosphere and why?
Green house gases will keep more of the heat that enters the earth. It will raise the temperature
What protects the earth from getting to hot or cold or dry?
The earth is protected by its atmosphere.
What are some causes for climatic change?
Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.
Are green house gases and a green house kind a the same thing?
Indeed they are acting alike. The glass in a green house allows light to enter but reduces the amount of heat that leaves. Green houses gasses in the atmosphere have the same effect on the planet in general.
Why is the surface of Venus hot?
1) It's close to the sun. 2) thick atmosphere with lots of "green house" gases.
