What are the four steps involved in the greenhouse effect process?
Solar radiation enters the Earth's atmosphere. Some of the solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and warms it. The Earth's surface radiates heat energy back towards the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap some of this heat energy in the atmosphere, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
How do clouds affect earth's energy budget?
Clouds play a crucial role in Earth's energy budget by reflecting sunlight back into space (called albedo effect) and trapping heat emitted by the Earth's surface. High, thin clouds tend to have a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight, while low, thick clouds tend to have a warming effect by trapping heat. Overall, clouds help regulate the temperature of the Earth by balancing incoming solar radiation and outgoing thermal radiation.
What happens when the earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
The suns energy when it reaches the earth's atmosphere encounters earth's plasma and three things happens. Some of the energy is reflected , some is absorbed and the rest is transmitted to the earth.
What is a heat energy that is trapped by the earth atmosphere and cannot return to space?
Greenhouse gases trap heat energy in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing it from escaping back into space. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature and making it habitable for life. However, human activities have intensified this effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
What asorbs the energy that is radiated from Earth's surface?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, absorb the energy that is radiated from Earth's surface. This absorption leads to the trapping of heat in Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What effect does sun have on earth?
The Sun is the ultimate source of all useable energy on Earth.
What effect does the sun the earth?
The Sun is the ultimate source of all useable energy on Earth.
What traps the energy near the earth's surface?
Greenhouse Effect
How does the Greenhouse Effect allow Earth to store Energy?
Heat is energy, and the greenhouse effect captures heat rising from the surface of the earth. This heat would otherwise escape into space. So the earth is storing extra energy in the atmosphere. This energy is used to power storms, winds and other weather "events".
Does earth get wind becausethe earth spins round?
No. The energy for the wind comes from the solar energy. However, the spinning of the Earth can change the direction of winds. This is related to the Coriolis effect.
What happens as a result of the greenhouse effect?
We stay warm and survive. The greenhouse effect works like this. We get light energy from the sun. When that light energy hits the earth's surface, it turns into heat energy. The earth then heats up the atmosphere and the "greenhouse gases" hold this heat in keeping us warm. If not for the greenhouse effect, the earth's temperature would be about -160o C.
What is the effect of a sudden release of energy in earth's crust?
An earthquake, most likely
What is the process that traps the sun's energy in the atmosphere warming the earth?
The greenhouse effect.
Earth's atmosphere trapping thermal energy radiated by the sun?
Greenhouse effect
Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.

What is process by which energy from the sun is trapped on earth surface and converted into heat?
The greenhouse effect
