What happens when solar wind approaches earths atmosphere?

When solar wind approaches Earth's atmosphere, it interacts with the Earth's magnetic field and can create auroras in the polar regions. The solar wind can also perturb the Earth's magnetosphere, leading to geomagnetic storms that can affect satellite communications and power grids.


Why is the atmosphere is heated cheifly by radition from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation?

The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface because the Earth's surface absorbs solar energy and emits it as infrared radiation. This infrared radiation is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to be heated. Direct solar radiation contributes to heating the Earth's surface, which in turn warms the atmosphere through convection and radiation.


What is the particles outside earths atmosphere?

Particles found outside Earth's atmosphere include solar wind particles, cosmic rays, and interstellar dust. These particles can interact with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, impacting space weather and the planet's environment.


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.


A meteoroid that burns up in earths atmosphere is called a?

A meteoroid is a small piece of space debris in the solar system. When a meteoroid enters the Earths atmosphere it becomes a meteor (shooting star).If the meteoroid survives the atmosphere and lands on the Earth, it becomes a meteorite.

Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?

Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.
