Because the earth is also absorbing heat. Ergo, it must also be losing it.

What else can I help you with?
Which vast explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
They stop heat from escaping the atmosphere- apex
Can heat be trapped?
no, heat is not a substance, it is a form of energy.
Greenhouse gases keep earth warm by?
trapping heat in the atmosphere, preventing it from escaping back into space. This process is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases such as carbon dioxide and methane absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, which warms the Earth's surface and helps maintain a stable temperature for life.
What lets the sun's light through but keeps the heat from escaping into the atmosphere?
The phenomenon that allows sunlight to enter while trapping heat in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and re-radiate it back toward the planet. This process maintains the Earth's temperature by preventing heat from escaping into space, while still allowing sunlight to penetrate the atmosphere.
As you go deeper into earth away from the sun you get warmer not cooler why is earth interior hot?
The Earth's interior is hot due to the heat generated during its formation and from the decay of radioactive isotopes. This heat is trapped within the Earth because of its insulating layers, such as the mantle and crust, which prevent it from escaping into space. The heat also drives processes like mantle convection, which continuously transfers heat from the interior to the surface.
Greenhouse Effect that prevents a planet's heat from escaping?
This is true. The greenhouse effect on earth holds back heat escaping from the earth.
Which layer of the Earth is heat escaping at Earth's surface?
lithosphere
Is heat currently escaping from the interior of the Earth?
Every second of every hour of every day.
Which vast explains how greenhouse gases affect earth?
They stop heat from escaping the atmosphere- apex
Why is the green house effect vital to earth?
It keeps heat from escaping the atmosphere. If Earth got too cold, life couldn't exist.
Can heat be trapped?
no, heat is not a substance, it is a form of energy.
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat energy from the sun. They prevent some of this heat from escaping back into space, contributing to the Earth's warming and the greenhouse effect.
How do greenhouse gases help keep the surface of the earth warm by absorbing heat emitted by the sun?
Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, allowing some of it to be absorbed by the Earth's surface. This process helps to keep the surface of the Earth warm by preventing the heat from escaping back into space.
How does carbon dioxide act like a greenhouse?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which captures heat rising from the surface of the earth and stops it escaping into space. In the same kind of way the glass in a greenhouse lets in the heat, but stops it escaping into the colder atmosphere outside.
How do clouds reflect heat to earth?
Cloud cover prevents IR radiation and light from escaping to space, preventing cooling by radiation.
What effect would an increase in clouds have on earth's climate?
Cloud cover prevents Sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, keeping the earth cooler.Cloud cover prevents heat escaping into space, keeping the Earth warmer.
Why do get cold?
Heat is escaping your body.
