What term refers to the sun's energy being trapped in our atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect
Heat energy trapped by particles in the atmosphere warms the Earth naturally through?
which of the following describes characteristics of the stratosphere
Can heat be trapped?
no, heat is not a substance, it is a form of energy.
What causes Solar energy to be trapped by gases in Venus's atmosphere causes .?
As carbon dioxide built up in Venus' atmosphere, more thermal radiation was trapped. The increasing heat released more CO2 into the atmosphere which trapped even more thermal radiation.
What is the energy that is trapped by gasses in the air causing the greenhouse effect?
The energy trapped by gases in the atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect, primarily comes from the Sun. When sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, it is absorbed and then re-radiated as infrared radiation (heat). Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-emit this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping back into space and thereby warming the atmosphere. This process is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature but can lead to global warming when excessive greenhouse gases accumulate.
What do you call energy that gets trapped in your atmosphere from the sun?
The energy that gets trapped in Earth's atmosphere from the sun is called solar radiation. This energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and contributes to the warming of the planet through a process known as the greenhouse effect.
How does the suns energy trapped in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
How does the suns energy get trapped in the atmosphere?
Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
What is the term that refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
convection
What term refers to the sun's energy being trapped in our atmosphere?
the greenhouse effect
Which process releases CO2 in the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas for energy production releases CO2 into the atmosphere. This process is a significant contributor to the increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and is a major driver of climate change.
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
During which process is solar energy trapped for use by organisms?
photosynthesis
How is earth atmosphere affected by solar energy?
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.
Process of breaking down carbohydrates to resleased trapped energy?
cellular respiration
What term refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
Warm air. The greenhouse effect. Weather.
