How does solar energy trapped in the biosphere influence global climate?
Solar energy trapped in the biosphere through processes like photosynthesis contributes to the Earth's overall energy budget. This leads to the regulation of temperatures and influences climate patterns by affecting the distribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere. The biosphere plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of greenhouse gases, which in turn impacts the Earth's climate system.
Why can geothermal energy not be traced back to the sun?
Geothermal energy is derived from the Earth's internal heat, not from the sun. This heat is created by the decay of radioactive elements in the Earth's core and is trapped beneath the Earth's surface, making it independent of solar energy.
What is a heat energy that is trapped by the earth atmosphere and cannot return to space?
Greenhouse gases trap heat energy in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing it from escaping back into space. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature and making it habitable for life. However, human activities have intensified this effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
What happens to solar energy that is absorbed at earth's surface?
Solar energy that is absorbed at Earth's surface is transformed into heat, which warms the surface. This heat can then be radiated back into the atmosphere as infrared radiation. Some of this heat is trapped by greenhouse gases, contributing to the Earth's overall temperature.
Do greenhouse gases trap all the energy radiated from Earth?
Certainly not all of it, otherwise the earth would be inhabitable. Much as Venus is.
What kind of energy is trapped and converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis?
Chloroplast traps light energy and converts to chemical energy
What is process by which energy from the sun is trapped on earth surface and converted into heat?
The greenhouse effect
What do you call energy that gets trapped in your atmosphere from the sun?
The energy that gets trapped in Earth's atmosphere from the sun is called solar radiation. This energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and contributes to the warming of the planet through a process known as the greenhouse effect.
What is the natural process where the sun's energy is trapped by the atmosphere to make the Earth warm enough for life?
The natural process is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap some of the sun's energy, preventing it from escaping back into space. This trapped energy warms the Earth's surface and makes it suitable for life.
What is the name for the principle explaining how thermal energy is trapped near the surface of the earth?
it's the greenhouse effect
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
How does radiation heat up the dashboard in a vehicle?
Radiation heats up a dashboard kind of a like it does the earth. when light from the sun passes through the window and hits the dashboard, the dashboard absorbs the heat energy, and re-radiates it into the air. this new energy is not as strong as the radiation from the sun, and doesn't pass through the window as well, and is trapped in the car. the trapped energy is what causes the dashboard to heat up.
Heat energy trapped by particles in the atmosphere warms the Earth naturally through?
which of the following describes characteristics of the stratosphere
What happens to the sun's energy as it is reflected back from the earth?
When the sun's energy is reflected back from the Earth, it can be absorbed by the atmosphere, clouds, or surface. Some of the energy gets trapped and warms the Earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect. The rest is radiated back towards space.

Can heat be trapped?
no, heat is not a substance, it is a form of energy.
