How does the sun's energy contribute to warming the Earth's surface and atmosphere?
The sun's energy warms the Earth's surface and atmosphere through a process called solar radiation. Sunlight contains heat energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. When sunlight reaches the Earth, some of it is absorbed by the surface, causing it to warm up. The Earth then radiates this heat back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap some of this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping into space. This trapped heat warms the atmosphere and contributes to the overall temperature of the Earth.

What is called an unnatural warming of the atmosphere near earths surface?
An unnatural warming of the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called global warming or anthropogenic climate change. This phenomenon is primarily caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.
When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near Earths surface is called?
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
What is a gradual increase in the average temperature of earths atmosphere?
A gradual increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere is known as global warming. This is primarily caused by human activities releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which trap heat and contribute to the Earth's temperature rising.
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect

What is gradual warming of Earth's surface?
The gradual warming of earths surface is called global warming.

What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
What is a gradual increase in the average temperature of earths atmosphere?

The gradual increase of the average air temperature in the earths lower atmosphere?
Global. Warming
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
