The natural process is called The Greenhouse Effect.
The presence of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere in moderate amounts prevent the heat by sun rays from going out to the space by reflecting it back to the surface of the earth and thus keeping it warm, and that's also how excess amount of CO2 causes global warming.

Is scattering a natural process that keeps earths atmosphere warm?
No, scattering has nothing to do with keeping the earth warm. Scattering refers to the way rays of light, or radiation or other particles have to change direction, often when they bump into something.
Why is the Earths atmosphere needed for life?
because it keeps the air inside the earth
What natural process causes the earth to remain warm?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth warm.
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
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.

What force keeps your atmosphere from floating out into space?
atnosphere gets held back by earths gravtional field
What is the natural process where the sun's energy is trapped by the atmosphere to make the Earth warm enough for life?
The greenhouse effect captures the sun's energy and keeps the earth warm.
What natural process causes the earth to remain warm?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the earth warm.
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
Is it faster to exit or enter the earth's atmosphere?
its faster to enter Earths atmosphere because our gravitational pull pulls anything in , and this is why rockets have to have a lot of power to go out of the atmosphere because the gravitational pull keeps us on its surface.
Is the greenhouse effect keeping the earth's atmosphere warm?
Yes, the natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth's atmosphere warm enough for us to live.
What keeps Earth's atmosphere close to the surface?
The gravitational pull keeps the Earth's atmosphere close to the surface...
How is gravity used in rugby union?
Gravity keeps the players from floating into space, and allows the ball to stay on the field, it also allows players to breathe as oxygen is trapped inside the earths atmosphere.
What planet has opaque atmospheres to keep it hot?
Venus has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide. Its average surface pressure is a crushing 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earths. The thick atmosphere keeps the suns heat in, making it the hottest planet in our solar system.
What does the gravity do to the atmosphere?
Answer: It keeps up from being crushed from the atmosphere around us... it also keeps us from floating away and helps keep the earth the right temp. Answer: Gravity keeps the atmosphere around the planet in the first place.
