What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is heated by the ground, which is heated by sunlight.
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.
Why dawn is red?
At dawn and dusk, the sun is close to the horizon. This means that it passes through more atmosphere. As a result, the sunlight is scattered to the red end of the visible spectrum, and the dust that naturally occurs in the atmosphere closer to the surface intensifies the effect.
How does a tornado effect an atmosphere?
It actually has very little effect on the atmosphere, as it is a very small event compared to the scale of the atmosphere. The parent storm has more effect.
Which factor has a stronger effect on climate the atmosphere or ocean?
Atmosphere
What occurs in the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is where all the c02 in the atmosphere allows the sunlight in, but instead of the regular process where the sunlight goes away from Earth, the c02 traps the sunlight in, cooking Earth and increasing the temperature, leading to global warming.
What layer of the atmosphere is first struck by sunlight?
The exosphere is the layer of the atmosphere first struck by sunlight
What causes sunlight to pass through the upper atmosphere?
Sunlight can pass through atmosphere. But not the part containing UV rays.
How does back into the atmosphere?
After the sunlight heats the ground,the ground delivers the heat to the dust and it goes straight up to the atmosphere. But the hole air doesn't goes to the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect takes some of the heat and the other heat goes up to the galaxy.
Is titans atmosphere obscured by thick clouds of ammonia ice?
No not at all

What do you need in atmosphere to sustain life?
oxygen and sunlight
What was the trigger that caused reactions to occur in the atmosphere?
sunlight
