Global Warming

The world is like a greenhouse. Carbon dioxide and gases act like the glass. The gases cover the earth and stops some heat from getting back out into space which causes the world to heat up.

How is the temperature of the earth partly controlled by corbon?

Carbon in the atmosphere appears mainly as carbon dioxide CO2. It is called a greenhouse gas because it acts like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the Sun's heat. That happens because it lets the short-wavelength radiant heat through as it arrives from the Sun, but stops heat radiated from the Earth at a lower temperature, at longer wavelengths, from escaping into space.

absorbing heat energy


What is the name of phenomenon because of which the earth's atmospheric temperature is increasing?

The phenomenon is called global warming, which is the gradual increase in Earth's atmospheric temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.


Which planets temperature is closest so the earth?

Venus has a surface temperature that is closest to Earth's temperature, with an average of about 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius) due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide which creates a greenhouse effect.


How can a build up of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase Earth's global temperature?

When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.

What state is carbon dioxide on earth?

Carbon dioxide exists in various states on Earth depending on temperature and pressure. At normal conditions, it is a gas. At very low temperatures and high pressures, it can exist as a solid (dry ice) or as a liquid.


How does measurements of carbon dioxide and temperature compare?

Measurements of carbon dioxide and temperature are related but measure different aspects of the Earth's climate system. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere can influence global temperatures by trapping heat, leading to global warming. Temperature measurements provide insights into the actual warming of the Earth's surface and atmosphere due to factors like greenhouse gas emissions. Both measurements are important for understanding climate change.
