The Earth's atmosphere gets heated mainly through the process of solar radiation. Energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth's surface, which then radiates heat energy back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere also trap some of this heat, leading to the warming of the planet.
What else can I help you with?
Which term best describes how the earth's atmosphere is heated?
m
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.
How is Earth's surface heated?
The Earth's surface is heated by the Sun's energy. Sunlight contains electromagnetic radiation, which warms the Earth when it is absorbed by the land, oceans, and atmosphere. This energy is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's overall temperature.
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is primarily heated by the sun's radiation. As sunlight enters the atmosphere, it warms the Earth's surface, which then emits heat energy back into the atmosphere. This process creates a temperature gradient, with warmer air near the surface and cooler air at higher altitudes.
What is the movement of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere?
The movement of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere is called evaporation. This process occurs when water is heated by the sun and changes from liquid to vapor, rising into the atmosphere.
Is the earth heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
Is the earth's atmosphere heated directly by a planet or a star?
Earth is heated by the sun, which is a star.
Which term best describes how the earth's atmosphere is heated?
m
Which layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earth?
Stratosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by earth's surface?
trophosphere
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.
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 are two ways that earth's atmosphere gets heated.?
through us
Why is the troposphere the hottest part of the atmosphere?
because it is heated by the earth's surface.
What is when water on earth is heated and turns to gas and rises to the atmosphere?
Evaporation.
How is Earth's surface heated?
The Earth's surface is heated by the Sun's energy. Sunlight contains electromagnetic radiation, which warms the Earth when it is absorbed by the land, oceans, and atmosphere. This energy is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's overall temperature.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.
