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.
The atmosphere gets colder as you go up. The reason is that the lower portion of the atmosphere is heated from below (by the heating of the land surface), and the higher you go the farther you are from the heat source, that is why it is cooler and covered in ice most of the time.
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This process traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
The primary source of radiation for both the Earth's atmosphere and greenhouse effect is the Sun. Solar radiation enters the Earth's atmosphere, warming the surface. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap some of this heat, preventing it from escaping back into space.
The primary source of energy that heats the atmosphere is the Sun. Solar radiation warms the Earth's surface, which in turn heats the lower atmosphere through conduction and convection. Additionally, the atmosphere also retains some heat from the Earth's surface.
Conduction heats the atmosphere by transfer of heat from the Earth's surface to the lower atmosphere through direct contact. As the Earth's surface gets heated by the sun, it transfers some of that heat to the air molecules in contact with it. This process helps warm the lower atmosphere.
The atmosphere has lower heat capacity
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.
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.
The atmosphere gets colder as you go up. The reason is that the lower portion of the atmosphere is heated from below (by the heating of the land surface), and the higher you go the farther you are from the heat source, that is why it is cooler and covered in ice most of the time.
The storage of heat in the lower layer of the atmosphere produced by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat near the Earth's surface, leading to warming of the planet.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
By the emission of the terrestrial radiation. Terrestrial radiation is emitted in the infrared long-wavelength part of the spectrum. It is terrestrial radiation rather than solar radiation that directly warms the lower atmosphere.
The lower atmosphere, known as the troposphere, is warmed by heat from Earth's surface. This warming is due to the absorption of outgoing radiation by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which trap heat in the atmosphere.
The heating of the lower layer of the atmosphere from radiation absorbed by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This process traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.
The storage of heat in the lower layer of the atmosphere due to certain heat-absorbing gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, is known as the greenhouse effect. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in global temperatures and changes in climate patterns.
