Which form of radiation given off by the earth causes heating of the earth's atmosphere?

Infrared radiation is the form of radiation given off by the Earth that causes heating of the Earth's atmosphere. This radiation is absorbed by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which traps heat and warms the planet.


What causes auroras on Earth?

What penetrates the atmosphere when the ozone layer gets thinner?

When the ozone layer gets thinner, its power becomes low. It causes the UV to penetrate it.

The ozone layer causes a temperature increase in the?

stratosphere. This temperature increase is due to the absorption of UV radiation by ozone molecules, leading to a warming effect in the upper atmosphere.


How does solar radiation heat up the earth's surface?

The sun converts hydrogen to light energy. This energy must travel through space, where there are no particles. To go through space, the energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves. When these waves hit the Earth's surface, they are absorbed by the typeof material at the top (rock, soil, water). As the waves are absorbes, they release their energy into the material's particles. This causes the particles to vibrate faster, causeing heat.


What causes your skin to feel warm when it is in the sun on a summer day?

When your skin is in the sun on a summer day, it feels warm because the sun's rays contain ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This radiation penetrates the skin and causes blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow to the skin's surface. This increased blood flow is what makes your skin feel warm.


What are the causes of green house?

The greenhouse effect is caused when energy from the sun penetrates Earth's atmosphere. Some of the light bounces back and escapes, but the rest is trapped by particles in the air, and that is how Earth's temperature is regulated.
