What else can I help you with?
Do high or low clouds heat the earth?
High clouds (like cirrus clouds) tend to have a cooling effect on the Earth's surface by reflecting incoming solar radiation back to space. Low clouds (like stratus clouds) can have a warming effect by trapping heat and reducing the amount of outgoing longwave radiation that escapes into space.
Is it true or false that the Earth does not appear to be gaining or losing heat as a planet in space?
False. The Earth is gaining more heat than it is losing, leading to global warming. This increase in heat is primarily due to human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing temperatures to rise.
How does the earth give off heat?
The Earth gives off heat primarily through radiation. Heat from the Earth's core and mantle is transported to the surface and released into the atmosphere, creating a temperature difference that results in the heat being radiated outwards into space. Additionally, geothermal energy from the Earth's interior contributes to the overall heat output.
What does energy generated on earth return to space as?
Energy generated on Earth is eventually returned to space in the form of infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface. This radiation is a result of the Earth absorbing and then reradiating solar energy received from the Sun.
When Earth cools most of the energy transferred from Earth's surface to space transferred by the process of?
Radiation
The temperature of the air falls at night because the earth loses heat by?
The temperature of the air falls at night because the earth loses heat by
Why is it freezing in space and not on earth?
See the answer to the question "The sun shines in space as it does on Earth Yet it is freezing cold in space what causes the difference?"
Does heat escape into space or is it recycled on this planet?
Heat on Earth escapes into space primarily through radiation. The atmosphere can trap some heat through the greenhouse effect, but ultimately, the excess heat is radiated back out to space. This process helps maintain Earth's temperature balance.
Why does the earth remain warm after sunset?
The surface of the earth holds heat, and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold heat all through the night. If the earth had no atmosphere, then at night all the heat would escape out to space and the earth would be freezing.
What happens if not enough heat escapes into space?
earth will overheat
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation. This process involves the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. These waves move through the vacuum of space and carry away thermal energy from the Earth's surface and atmosphere.
Can heat travel through vacuum?
Yes. Just look at how heat travles from space to Earth.
Why heat cannot reach the earth from the sun by conduction or convection?
Heat from the sun cannot reach the earth through conduction or convection because space is a vacuum and does not contain matter to transfer heat. Heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation, as electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum of space.
Why are the days warmer than the nights?
During the day, the part of Earth you are on gets heat from the sun faster than it can radiate that heat back into space. At night, Earth is still radiating heat back into space, but where you are is not getting heat from the sun, so the temperature drops.
Is space time the same as earth time?
Yes and no. On earth, there are time zones based on where you are located on earth. There are no time zones in space.
Why does Earth need layers?
The Earth needs layers because the earth is cold, some parts of on on top of it have heat but the Earth is always cold because of cold Space. It needs heat inside.
Why does The Space Shuttle Heat up when it is Travelling through the Earth's Atmosphere?
Because of the enormous amount of friction between Earth's atmosphere and the Space Shuttle.
