How gases and particles in the atmosphere interact with light rays?
A thing called scattering occurs when particles and gasses in the atmosphere disperse light in all directions
What is the thin blanket of gases and tiny particles that surrounds Earth?
Atmosphere
What type of radiation is in the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases?
There is no radiation (Alpha particles, Beta particles, Gamma rays) related to Greenhouse Gases. There is some conversion of lsolar energy to thermal radiation (heat)
What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
What term do scientist use to describe the gases that have built up in the atmosphere resulting in a change of climate on the earth?
The term scientists use to describe the gases that have built up in the atmosphere resulting in a change of climate on the earth is Greenhouse effect. These greenhouse gases let light in, but don't let heat escape.

Atmosphere
What is the difference the air and the atmosphere?
air is a mixture of gases, water vapour, dust particles and smoke the atmosphere is a mixture of colourless, odourless and tasteless gases
What forms when charged particles from the sun cause gases in the atmosphere to glow?
photon
Describe several ways in which gases enter and leave the atmosphere?
By air

How would the atmosphere best be describe?
the mixture of invisible gases that surround earth

What consists of a mixture of gases and particles including oxygen nitrogen carbon dioxide water and dust?
atmosphere
Why can gases such as helium escape the earth's atmosphere?
because earth has gas particles that can let helium go
In addition to gases the atmosphere contains many types of tiny solid?
Yes, that is correct. There are tiny suspended particles in the atmosphere. There is usually some dust, but if there is smoke in the air, the amount of such particles can increase a lot.
