When you heat a gas, the energy you supplied is converted into the gas molecule becoming more energetic (obviously) and will bounce against its fellows more vigorously, and if free to do so, all the molecules will expand the volume they occupy.....

..... and / or pressure increases.

The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?

The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperature on Earth. Some of the key greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.


What happens as the sun's heat warms the earth's surface?

The heat rises in the form of infrared radiation, which is easily captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.


Do gases heat up when compressed?

Yes, gases heat up when they are compressed because the compression increases the gas molecules' kinetic energy, leading to a rise in temperature. This is known as adiabatic heating.


What is the geenhousee effect?

its when greenhouse gases build up and these gases traps the sun's heat, resulting in global warming


How are green house gases made?

Gases are made when you heat up solids or liquids. Liquids are made when you cool down gases or heat up solids. Solids are made when you cool down gases or solids. When you heat up solids they make liquids and when you heat up liquids it makes gases. When you heat up gases it makes plasma (plas-mu) but that is very very very very very very hard to make.


What happens when carbon dioxide and water vapor methane and other gases absorb solar radiation?

These greenhouse gases heat up in the atmosphere. This heat moves in all directions, including back down to the earth's surface. Because the levels of greenhouse gas are rising, the earth is getting warmer. This is called global warming.


Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?

Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.


What when gases lose heat?

When gases lose heat they condensate into liquids.
