The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
What traps the energy near the earth's surface?
Greenhouse Effect
Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.
What term refers to the sun's energy being trapped in our atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect
How is Humankind contributing to the Negation of the Green House Effect?
Heads Up, Dared to Prove Otherwise: "Too little, Too late." We are not negating the greenhouse effect. In fact we are increasing its effect by adding more greenhouse gases to the mix. We now have an 'accelerated' greenhouse effect.
What type of energy drives the greenhouse effect?
Heat energy drives greenhouse effect. Huge amount of heat energy is trapped at a surface.
What effect does the greenhouse effect have on business?
It save energy

What traps the energy near the earth's surface?
Greenhouse Effect
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What happens as a result of the greenhouse effect?
We stay warm and survive. The greenhouse effect works like this. We get light energy from the sun. When that light energy hits the earth's surface, it turns into heat energy. The earth then heats up the atmosphere and the "greenhouse gases" hold this heat in keeping us warm. If not for the greenhouse effect, the earth's temperature would be about -160o C.
What is the source of energy in the greenhouse effect?
The Sun is the source of energy. Heat from the sun radiates up from the surface of the earth and warms the greenhouse gases.
How will solar energy effect our world?
solar energy will effect our world because it will stop the greenhouse effect from growing -SmartyPants411-Did you also know painting your roof white will reduce greenhouse effect??? If everyone in the U.S. painted their roof white, greenhouse effect would be reduced enough to take back all emissions done in 2008.
What type of energy does a greenhouse gas transfer to nitrogen and oxygen?
A greenhouse gas primarily transfers infrared energy to nitrogen and oxygen. This energy is absorbed and re-emitted by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's greenhouse effect and warming the planet.
