Describe how gases and particles in the atmosphere interact with light rays?
Generally most gasses absorb sunlight at certain wavelengths. Parlicles will absorb also,
What reflects energy from the sun in the atmosphere?
Water. The actual is Clouds, gases and dust reflects 25% of the incoming sun light. Clouds reflect light back to space. Dust particles and gases reflect light in all directions in a process called scattering. Gas particles scatter shorter wavelengths of visible light (blue and violet), and that is why the sky is blue.
Why the Earth's atmosphere do not have helium and Hydrogen?
The atmosphere does not have helium and hydrogen because the two gases are too light to be there. Instead they are in the exosphere, above the atmosphere.
Why do gases surround the Earth?
Gravity is able to keep the heavier gases close to the Earth's surface, but light gases such as helium rise in the atmosphere and are swept away by the Solar Wind.
When dust particles and gases in the atmosphere reflect light in all directions this is a process called?
Omnidirectional Radiation. OR Scattering

What is a Natural phenomenon where particles from solar activity interact with atoms in earths atmosphere to create bands of light?
color
Which layer do light gases escape earths gravity?
Earth's lighter gases such as Hydrogen and Helium will rise to the top of the atmosphere. Since they are very light, they will easily be knocked awry by the solar wind, the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun.
How fas does light travel?
Light in its fastest state in a vacuum only can travel at 3.0*10^8km/s but as it enters the earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere is full of dust particles and layers of gases which can effect the speed of light slightly, in the earths atmosphere light travels at 2.89*10^8 km/s .

What gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation and Which gases absorb ultraviolet?
Some of the gases found in our atmosphere which absorb infrared light are: carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. Gases found in our atmosphere which absorb ultraviolet light are ozone (O3) and oxygen gas (O2).
A planet with a thick atmosphere of light gases is?
Uranus
Did outer planets lose the light gases in their atmosphere?
no.
How does the atmosphere interact with people?
azin the most air we breath an light
What gases are their in Mars' Atmosphere?
Carbon Dioxide, which is light brown in color.
Why are all chemicals in the atmosphere gases?
Gases are lighter than solids and liquids, so light that they can be in our atmosphere. Example, when water evaporates it is light and goes up into our atmosphere where it will condense to form liquid, which is now heavier and more dense and therefore falls
What causes the lights?
The Sun's magnetic field produces charged particles and these charged particles are usually radiated out into space. Sometimes these charged particles may be caught in Earth's magnetic field and as they enter the upper atmosphere of Earth, they are in contact with other gases in the upper atmosphere and emit light and colors. The solar wind reacts to the Earth's magnetic field and then spreads across the ionosphere (the upper, charged layer of our atmosphere).
