How do gasses in the atmosphere help keep the earth warm?

Gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap heat from the sun in a process known as the greenhouse effect. These gases allow sunlight to enter the Earth's atmosphere and warm the planet, but trap some of the heat that would otherwise escape back into space. This helps maintain the Earth's temperature at a level suitable for life.


Some substances evaporate more easily than other because they?

have weaker intermolecular forces, which allow the molecules to escape into the gas phase more readily.


What is it when water vapor is lost through stomata?

The loss of water vapor through stomata is called transpiration. Stomata are tiny openings in the surface of leaves that allow water vapor to escape into the atmosphere as part of the plant's regulatory mechanisms.


What gets trapped by the Earth's atmosphere that controls temperature?

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, get trapped by the Earth's atmosphere. These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere and warm the planet, but then trap some of the heat that would otherwise escape into space. This process helps regulate Earth's temperature, keeping it within a range that is suitable for supporting life.


The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere is the?

The layer of the atmosphere that contains the ionosphere is the thermosphere. This region is located between the mesosphere and the exosphere and is known for its high temperatures and the presence of ionized particles that allow for the reflection of radio waves.

Do electrolytes allow escape of hydrogen gas?

No, electrolytes do not allow the escape of hydrogen gas. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electricity when dissolved in a solvent, such as water. They can facilitate the movement of ions, but they do not directly affect the escape of gas.

Can water exist on a planet with no atmosphere?

Atmospheric pressure is an important factor in keeping liquid water on the surface of a planet. With no atmosphere, liquid water would quickly escape into space. It would depend on various factors such as the temperature and escape velocity of the planet of course. Scientists think liquid water existed on Mars in the past when the atmosphere was a lot denser. Water does exist on the surface Mars, but only as ice.

Why should a spacecraft be space-tight?

Any suddenly opening appearing in the skin of the spacecraft would allow the atmosphere inside the craft to escape out into space - causing decompression.


What condition will allow water to evaporate?

The continuous movement of water molecules can lead some molecules at the surface to escape in the atmosphere as a gas. High temperature and low pressure favors evaporation.

How have scientists arranged varios atoms?

Scientists have arranged various atoms into periodic tables based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and chemical properties. By organizing atoms in this way, scientists can study and predict the behavior of elements and their compounds more effectively. Additionally, advancements in technology allow scientists to manipulate and control atoms to create new materials and substances with specific properties.
