What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What effect occurs as solar radiation is absorbed by the Earths surface and re-radiated into the atmosphere where it gets trapped and warms the Earth?
The effect that occurs when solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated into the atmosphere, where it gets trapped, is known as the greenhouse effect. This process involves greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, which warms the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. While this natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities have intensified the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
How does the greenhouse effect helps to moderate earths temperatures?
The greenhouse effect helps moderate Earth's temperatures by trapping heat in the atmosphere. When sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, some of it is absorbed and then re-radiated as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb this infrared radiation and re-emit it in all directions, including back towards the surface. This process keeps the planet warm enough to support life by maintaining a stable temperature range.
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What type of radiation is trapped on the earths surface by the green house effect?
Infrared radiation
What is a trapping of energy from the sun by earths atmosphere?
The trapping of energy from the sun by Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation passes through the atmosphere to heat the Earth's surface, which then emits infrared radiation. Some of this infrared radiation is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, creating a warming effect that helps maintain Earth's temperature.
How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
What radiation warms the earths surface and the heat energy is radiated back into space?
Infrared radiation from the sun warms the Earth's surface. This heat energy is then radiated back into space as longwave infrared radiation. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere the greenhouse?
The sun.
What is the source of radiation for both the earths atmosphere and greenhouse?
The sun.
What is the way the suns energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
The sun's energy reaches the Earth in the form of sunlight (solar radiation), which is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The surface then heats up and radiates heat back into the atmosphere, creating what is known as the greenhouse effect. Some of the heat is trapped by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, which keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
