What part of the earths spheres is composed of a mixture of gases?
the entire atmosphere...
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is call what?
The process you are describing is called the greenhouse effect. It involves certain heat-absorbing gases in the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperature in the lower layer of the atmosphere.
Heating the Earths atmosphere is caused by energy consumption or production?
Heating the Earth's atmosphere is primarily caused by energy production and consumption, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat and contribute to global warming and climate change. Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and transitioning to renewable energy sources can help mitigate this impact.
How does solar radiation leave earths atmosphere?
Solar radiation leaves Earth's atmosphere through a process called reflection and absorption. Some of the radiation is reflected back into space by clouds, gases, and particles in the atmosphere. The remaining radiation is absorbed by the surface of the Earth, where it is converted into heat energy.
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
How do greenhouse gases prevent heat and energy from escaping the Earth's atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat and energy in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This process creates a "greenhouse effect" that warms the planet.
What is the makeup of earths atmosphere?
Gases
Where do these main gases come from?
they come from earths atmosphere and gases
What factor contributed to the formation of earths early atmosphere?
energy from the sun,lightening,earths heat triggered chemical reaction for the early gases of the earth combined
What substance traps heat from the earths in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases
Which gases were parts of earths original atmosphere?
HIDROGEN
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What gases trap heat energy in earths atmosphere?
Carbon ioxide, Methane Nitrous oxide, Carbon tetrafluoride, Sulfur hexafluoride
What are the primary gases found in earths atmosphere?
Nitrogen and oxygen,
What absorbs or reflects energy from the sun in the atmosphere?
Gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone in the atmosphere can absorb and reflect energy from the sun. Particulate matter, such as dust and pollution, can also play a role in absorbing or reflecting solar energy in the atmosphere.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called?
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the two most important heat absorbing gases in the lower atmosphere.
What is it called when heat energy gets trapped in earths atmosphere?
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
