What else can I help you with?
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
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 is the source of radiation for both the earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect?
The Sun is the primary source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation enters the atmosphere, warms the Earth's surface, and is re-radiated as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this infrared radiation, leading to the greenhouse effect.
What is called when trapping heat by the atmosphere of Venus?
Greenhouse effect. The same effect that keeps Earth warmer than if there would be no atmosphere: without an atmosphere, the average temperature on Earth would be below zero Celsius.
What would happen if more of the sun's heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat into space?
More of the sun's heat trapped in the atmosphere would mean the greenhouse gases would become warmer. The earth and the atmosphere would become hotter, and global warming would speed up.
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere change the greenhouse effect?
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
Which would make the greenhouse effect stronger?
Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Does a planet have to have an atmosphere to have a greenhouse effect?
Yes, an atmosphere is necessary for a planet to have a greenhouse effect. The atmosphere traps heat from the planet's surface, creating a warming effect similar to a greenhouse. Without an atmosphere, there would be no mechanism to retain and redistribute heat, leading to extreme temperature fluctuations.
What would the Earth's temperature be if there were no greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere?
If there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature would be much colder than it is now. Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun, so without them, the Earth would lose more heat and the average temperature would be significantly lower.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
What is not considered a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere?
Oxygen is not considered a greenhouse gas in the Earth's atmosphere.
How would earths average temperature be different if there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all.?
If there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, Earth's average temperature would be significantly colder. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, helping to keep the planet warm. Without them, Earth's surface would not retain as much heat from the sun, resulting in much lower temperatures.
What would happen if the amount of molecules in earth's atmosphere doubled?
They would create a double greenhouse effect
The is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
This would be called the greenhouse effect
