What else can I help you with?
Will an object will be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings?
No, an object will not be a net radiator of energy when its thermal energy is less than that of its surroundings. In this case, the object will instead absorb thermal energy from its surroundings in an attempt to reach thermal equilibrium.
What does a liquid to a solid involve in thermal energy?
To become a solid, a liquid will absorb heat energy.
What is the total kinetic energy of molecules present in the substance called?
THERMAL ENERGY
When water in rivers lakes and oceans is heated by the sun changes from a liquid to a gas and moves into the atmosphere it is called?
This process is called evaporation. Water molecules absorb energy from the sun, gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid phase, and transform into water vapor in the atmosphere.
How radiation from the sun penetrates the atmosphere by heating the air?
Solar radiation penetrates most of the atmosphere and is mostly absorbed by earth's surface. The surface then radiates energy of a different wavelength (in the thermal infrared part of the spectrum, which we perceive as heat) back to the atmosphere, heating the lower atmosphere.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth called?
the greenhouse effect
What is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere?
what is the term for the measure of thermal energy in the atmosphere
What is it called the Earth's atmosphere trapping thermal energy radiated by the sun?
Greenhouse effect.
What is the The warming of earth caused by atmosphere trapping thermal energy from the sun called?
greenhouse effect
What thermal in the atmosphere is?
Thermal energy in the atmosphere refers to the heat energy present in the air molecules. This energy is transferred through processes like conduction, convection, and radiation, ultimately influencing weather patterns and climate. Temperature variations in the atmosphere are a result of changes in thermal energy.
What 3 changes of state absorb thermal energy?
Melting, evaporation, and sublimation are changes of state that absorb thermal energy. During these processes, the particles in a substance gain energy to break intermolecular bonds and overcome attractive forces between them, resulting in an absorption of thermal energy.
What is the addition or loss of thermal energy called?
The addition of thermal energy is called heating, while the loss of thermal energy is called cooling.
Does the atmosphere absorb a lot of energy directly from the sun?
No, most of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the surface of the Earth. The atmosphere does absorb some of the energy but it is relatively small compared to the energy absorbed by the Earth's surface.
What do brakes do?
A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
What energy causes water to evaporate?
For evaporation water absorb thermal energy from the environment.
What is thermal energy converted into work called?
what is thermal energy converted into work called
