Excess carbon gases released into the atmosphere cause additional radiation to be retained and Earth's average temperature to increase This phenomenon is known as?
the greenhouse affect
What effect is a phenomenon in which carbon dioxide and other gases trap solar radiation in the atmosphere causing global air temperatures to rise?
Carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse" gases are trapped in the atmosphere due to a phenomenon referred to as global warming. Global warming refers to the constant and steady rise of the Earth's temperature.
Is all radiation absorbed in the earths atmosphere is absorbed in what atmosphere?
Not all the radiation is absorbed in the earth's atmosphere called the troposphere.
What is the source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse?
Sol.The Sun is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect.
Which gas can block UV radiation in the upper atmosphere?
The upper atmosphere is also known as the stratosphere. The gas that can block ultra-violet radiation in the stratosphere (a.k.a. upper atmosphere) is ozone.

How are the moon colonists protected from radiation and extreme temperature?
the are by the atmosphere
What determines a temperature of a layer of the atmosphere?
The way the layer interacts with solar radiation.
Why planet is cold because of a lack of atmosphere?
Mercury has no atmosphere so the temperature change drastically from hot to cold. Venus has thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide fosters greenhouse effect. Even night or day. It is still hot. Earth has variety of temperature zone. We have equator where we receive high dose of solar radiation, temperate zone partly receives solar radiation, polar zone receive a little solar radiation. Mars has thin atmosphere. So it somehow regulates a little of the temperature. Coldness of a Planet is dependent on the solar radiation it received during day/night, plus the atmosphere which regulates the temperature.
Does Radiation trapped in the earth's atmosphere serves to maintain a relatively constant and livable temperature?
Yhep..
Why does the thermosphere have the highest temperature all the atmosphere layers?
IT is closest to the sun
In which layers of the atmosphere does the temperature increase with increasing height?
The stratosphere is where the temperature increases with height. This is due to absorption of UV radiation by atmospheric ozone.
Why is Earth's atmosphere mainly heated from the ground up?
Solar radiation mostly passes through the atmosphere without heating it, due to its wavelength. It does not pass through the ground, however, and it heats the ground. The ground emits radiation at a wavelength dependent on its temperature. This radiation happens to be in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, or in other words, sensible heat. Therefore, the atmosphere is heated by the surface, whereupon the heat tends to rise and heat the lower atmosphere.
What are Two ways gases can affect radiation?
Gases absorb radiation and some is absorbed in the atmosphere :)
