Venus has a very thick atmosphere so it keeps a more consistent hot temperature and continually takes in heat. Then it releases much less at night than it absorbs during the day. Mercury has almost no atmosphere, so it gets hot during the day but immediately gets very cold at night.

What is the name of the hormones that have a pronounced effect in a localized area?

The name of the hormones that have a pronounced effect in a localized area are paracrine hormones. These hormones act on nearby cells within the same tissue or organ where they are released, rather than traveling through the bloodstream to distant target cells.


Is greenhouse is just a theory?

The greenhouse effect is a well-supported scientific theory that explains how certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat and contribute to global warming. It is an established principle in climate science based on empirical evidence and extensive research.

What factors influence the function of a greenhouse?

The addition or removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is one thing that alters the greenhouse effect. We can add more by continuing to burn fossil fuels. We can remove some by planting trees, the more the better. Overall warming through this effect is also affected by the availability of energy. Any changes in the energy levels reaching the atmosphere will cause exponential changes in the overall greenhouse effect. This means the the normal variations in solar activity will cause changes in the effect we see on the planet. Another issue that is often overlooked is the albedo affect from clouds or ice. This issue is capable of massive changes in the overall energy absorbed and retained by our planet. High level clouds prevent some of the sun's energy from even reaching a large portion of the green house gases. Jet vapor trails, for example, were blamed for a period for the cooling. (See global dimming).


Does eye color effect red eye in pictures?

Yes, individuals with lighter eye colors, such as blue or green, may be more prone to red eye in photos because their retinas are more visible due to less melanin. This increased visibility of the retina reflects the light from the camera flash, resulting in the red-eye effect.

What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?

There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.


Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?

The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.


Does the planet Mercury have the highest surface temp?

No. Venus does (greenhouse effect).


What planet has an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect?

EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.


Does the greenhouse effect make mercury very hot?

There are no greenhouse gases on Mercury. Just a very thin atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. So it has no greenhouse effect. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270°F to 800°F (-168°C to 427°C).


What are some of Mercury's unique characteristics?

One of them is that is has a Greenhouse effect on it.

Is Venus' or Mercury hotter?

mercury is hotter Venus has long been considered the hottest planet due to the cloud cover and its creating an enormous greenhouse effect. I do not believe Mercury is hotter.


What planet has the weakest greenhouse effect?

Mars has a weak greenhouse effect compared to Earth. Its thin atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide, which is not as effective at trapping heat as Earth's predominantly nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere.


Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?

greenhouse effect


What planet has more greenhouse effect?

Venus has the most pronounced greenhouse effect in our solar system. Its thick atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat and creates a runaway greenhouse effect, resulting in extreme temperatures of up to 900°F (475°C) on the surface.


Does all planets have the greenhouse effect?

The only planet that "emits" light is the Earth, from all of the artificial lamps here. Green lights would be the color of mercury vapor streetlamps, which are the bane of astronomers (light pollution) and women everywhere (because the greenish light on makeup looks ghastly).
