Does solar radiation keep the earth's lower atmosphere warm?
Solar radiation is what keeps the entire planet warm.
How does volcanic ash in earths atmosphere effect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that reflect into space
How does volcanic ash in Earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
What happens to the atmosphere as sea level increases?
As the sea level increases, the atmospheric pressure also increases. Due to the increase in pressure, Gamma radiation (solar heat) gets trapped in the atmosphere after it bounces off Earth's surface. The more radiation that stays in the atmosphere, the warmer our global climate becomes. This will cause more polar ice to melt, sea levels to rise, and more heat to become trapped.
What percent of solar radiation is blocked by the Earth's atmosphere?
55 percent when the atmosphere blocke the earth
The definition greenhouse warming?
Warming that results when solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere
Why does CO2 destroy the atmosphere?
It doesn't really "destroy the atmosphere", Carbon Dioxide traps solar radiation, if there is too much solar radiation being trapped, then the earth becomes much hotter, hence global warming.
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by what?
Solar radiation that is not reflected is absorbed by clouds, the atmosphere and the surface of the earth.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%Source: (NASA)
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.
If you could stand on all the planets in our solar system which on would be the hottest?
Acually venus is the hottest planet because venus's atmosphere is composed mainly of co2. because of this venus's atmosphere has a extreme green house effect were all of the solar radiation is trapped in venus's atmosphere.
What causes Solar energy to be trapped by gases in Venus's atmosphere causes .?
As carbon dioxide built up in Venus' atmosphere, more thermal radiation was trapped. The increasing heat released more CO2 into the atmosphere which trapped even more thermal radiation.
Does solar radiation keep the earth's lower atmosphere warm?
Solar radiation is what keeps the entire planet warm.
How does volcanic ash in earths atmosphere effect solar radiation?
It increases the amount of solar radiation that reflect into space
Which layer of the atmosphere does not absorb solar radiation?
Troposphere does not absorb solar radiation. All other layers do not absorb.
How much solar energy is reflected by the atmosphere and earth's surface?
About 6% of incoming solar radiation is reflected back into space from the atmosphere and 4% by the surface of the earth.Incoming solar radiation: 100%Reflected by the atmosphere: 6% : Absorbed by the atmosphere: 16%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 78%Reflected by clouds: 20% : Absorbed by clouds: 3%Continuing incoming solar radiation: 55%Reflected by the earth's surface: 4% : Absorbed by the earth's surface (lands and oceans): 51%
How will the increase in carbon dioxide affect the transmission of solar radiation through the atmosphere?
The increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means that more solar radiation (in the form of infra-red heat from the warmed earth) is absorbed in the atmosphere and prevented from escaping to space. It will not change the transmission of incoming solar radiation through the atmosphere.
What types of solar radiation penetrate the atmosphere?
UV
