the core and the sunlight.
The Earth relies on the Sun's energy to maintain its temperature and support life through the process of solar radiation. Without the Sun, there would be no source of heat to keep the Earth warm, resulting in a gradual decrease in temperature until it approaches near absolute zero.
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
To reach a higher interior temperature, you can increase the heating source's output, such as adjusting the thermostat to a higher setting or using space heaters. Insulating the space effectively will also help retain heat, preventing it from escaping. Additionally, reducing drafts by sealing windows and doors can improve overall warmth. Finally, utilizing thermal curtains can help keep the heat inside during colder periods.
The natural greenhouse effect, helped by greenhouse gases and the carbon and water cycles of the earth keep the atmosphere warm. Greenhouse gases keep back some of the sun's heat so it doesn't radiate back out to space. This has kept the earth warm for millions of years.
A refrigerator is an endothermic system because it absorbs heat from its interior to keep the contents cool. This process involves the refrigeration cycle, where a refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat from inside the fridge, then releases that heat to the external environment when it condenses. Thus, the refrigerator removes heat from the inside, making it an endothermic process.
It helps keep the Earth's interior hot.
Aside from the sun, one thing that helps keep the earth warm is something called the "heat of fusion" not to be confused with nuclear fusion, as the earth's core and mantle slowly solidify, turning from a liquid into a solid, heat is released in the same way that heat is released when water turns from a liquid to a solid. On geological scales, this process helps keep the earth's interior warm.
Geothermal power is produced by the internal forces of the earth. Since this is an ongoing process it is a renewable resource. Basically it is the heat from the magma inside the earth, the same that causes volcanoes and geysers. The core of earth is so hot that it will keep heating the crust.

There are several main reasons for the heat inside the earth. Keep in mind, though, that scientists really don't agree on how hot the core of the earth might be. 3000C? 4000C? 7000C? One source is radioactive decay. Elements including Uranium and Radium are constantly decaying and releasing energy. A second source is simply the result of Earth's formation -- billions and billions of tons of rocks and metal and gasses compressing downward release a lot of heat. The last reason is tidal stress. As the moon goes around earth, its gravitational field makes shifts in earth's crust and mantle. These shifts produce heat. Some scientists think that these models still don't adequately explain the continued tremendous heat in Earth's core, but these ideas are the best we have for now. -MathTeacherGuy, Santa Clara, California.
Auxilary heat is a second source of heat when your primary source can not keep up on it's own (either electric or gas).
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, allowing some of it to be absorbed by the Earth's surface. This process helps to keep the surface of the Earth warm by preventing the heat from escaping back into space.
The snow creates a thick layer in which traps the heat inside the earth.
Space is cold - colder than you can possibly imagine. Their spaceship is in no danger of melting in space. The danger arises when they re-enter the earth's atmosphere. Then they need either a heat-shield or, on the space shuttle, special tiles which are heat-resistant.
Depends. Since geothermal energy is using heat from the Earth, it can last forever. However, since Earth is just a planet that is cooling down, it loses heat every year. So it is a renewable energy source for now, until the planet loses its heat. Though in the Earth, there is always some chemical reaction going on, and they produce heat. Therefore, no one is sure if it is a renewable energy source for the future, but it is for now.Yes, it is, the geothermal hot rocks underground keep on making steam only if we keep on feeding it water.Strictly speaking geothermal energy is not renewable as we can't grow or make new energy to replace it. It is however essentially inexhaustible as it is renewed by processes like radioactive decay and tidal friction in the magma.It is not 'renewable' if you mean "can humanity restore it?", as it must with trees, for example.It is self-renewing - the Earth is constantly giving off its heat to water which is close enough to the heat to be warmed by it. It is not diminished to any noticeable extent by our using it.It is not so much a renewable energy source as it is a persistent energy source.It's capacity is theoretically unlimited.In simple terms, it is deemed to be a renewable energy source.Yes its a renewable source because it comes from the Earth and formed from the heat so they take advantage of the heat to make geothermal energy.
Plywood is not a good insulator on its own, so it does not effectively keep heat in during winter or out during summer. To improve insulation, you would need to add materials like foam board or insulation between the plywood and the interior walls.
