The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by Earth's gravity. The atmosphere protects life on Earth by absorbing ultraviolet solar radiation, warming the surface through heat retention (greenhouse effect), and reducing temperature extremes between day and night.

Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
Why is the earths atmosphere important?
The atmosphere of the earth holds the air we breath and protects us from the harmful effects of the sun. The atmosphere also holds heat so we don't freeze to death
What is the heat from below earth's surface called?
Heat from inside the Earth is called geothermal heat.
How do clouds help heat the earth?
Clouds don't really heat the Earth. Some clouds keep the Earth from losing heat. Heat is moved in different ways. One way is radiation. The Sun warms the Earth with radiated heat. But, the Earth also radiates heat. Clouds absorb some of the heat the Earth radiates and radiate it back to the Earth. If there are no clouds present all of the heat the Earth radiates go out into space and is lost.
How does heat transfer in earth?
From the sun to the earth it is radiant heat
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.
Greenhouse Effect that prevents a planet's heat from escaping?
This is true. The greenhouse effect on earth holds back heat escaping from the earth.
What is a natural process that holds heat Earth-atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect.
What is a advantage of a sun?
the sun gives us heat and holds the earth in place with its gravity
Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
What does the air in troposphere do as it heat up from the sun?
It usually holds more water because of evaporation and makes the earth very hot.
What holds earth together Think of the earth as the nucleus of an atom. And around the earth are electrons. These electrons create magnetic energy that holds earth together.?
Electrons produce a magnetic force that holds earth together and trees
Why does the moon have big temperature changes while earth dose not?
because the Earth has more of an atmosphere, and the Moon does not. the atmoshpere holds in heat and cold, so on the moon there is not anything to keep the temperature stable
Why is the earths atmosphere important?
The atmosphere of the earth holds the air we breath and protects us from the harmful effects of the sun. The atmosphere also holds heat so we don't freeze to death
Which holds more heat salt water or fresh water?
Salt water holds more heat than fresh water
What is the heat from below earth's surface called?
Heat from inside the Earth is called geothermal heat.
