The Sun heats the Earth's water. This warm water turns into a vapor and rises into the atmosphere where it cools off. What happens to this water vapor?

When the sun heats the earths water what happens to this water vapor?
It goes into the atmosphere as part of the water cycle.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minutes?
both the water and soil heats up but the soil heats up rapidly and the water heats up slowly. If it cools down the soil cools down faster and the water cools down slower.
Why should you reduce your dependence on fossil fuel?
Burning fossil fuels adds Carbon Dioxide and other chemicals into the atmosphere and when that happens the earths atmospheres heats up and then temperatures rise, which will start to kill the plants and animals on our planet
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
What happens when molecules lose energy?
They get colder.

Most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere is visible light?
no it's infared radition
What happens to air temperature when it is compressed or allowed to expand?
Heats with compression, cools with expansion.
What happens to the temperature of equal volumes of soil and water when they are placed in the sunshine for 30 minutes minutes?
both the water and soil heats up but the soil heats up rapidly and the water heats up slowly. If it cools down the soil cools down faster and the water cools down slower.
What is most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere?
Heat from the sun rising as infrared radiation from the surface of the earth.
Do earths surfaces absorb thermal energy at the same rate?
No, because the land heats up faster and cools up faster than water.
Does air lose density when it heats or when it cools?
As air heats it becomes less dense, when it cools it becomes denser.

What happens when a space shuttle reenter the atmosphere?
It heats up a lot and becomes vey hot.
