What else can I help you with?
Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.
If the greenhouse effect went out of control what would you have?
You could have a runaway greenhouse effect, where positive feedbacks increase so rapidly that the temperature rises too fast and too high to control. Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, and the oceans have boiled dry and the ground temperature is about 464 °C (867°F).
Does all planets have the greenhouse effect?
The only planet that "emits" light is the Earth, from all of the artificial lamps here. Green lights would be the color of mercury vapor streetlamps, which are the bane of astronomers (light pollution) and women everywhere (because the greenish light on makeup looks ghastly).
How is the greenhouse effect important to the earths ecosystem?
The greenhouse effect is important because it helps keep Earth warm enough to support life by trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be much colder and uninhabitable. However, human activities have intensified the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
How would an increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere change the greenhouse effect?
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
What will happen if you stop the greenhouse effect?
Stopping the greenhouse effect would lead to a significant drop in global temperatures. This could disrupt ecosystems and weather patterns, with potential effects on agriculture, sea levels, and natural habitats. However, without the greenhouse effect, Earth would be much colder and possibly uninhabitable.
Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?
Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.
Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
If there was no greenhouse effect would you burn or freeze?
You would freeze. The earth would be pretty well frozen over. The average surface temperature would be about -4 degrees Fahrenheit if there were no greenhouse effect.
Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.
How does a greenhouse effect affect a planet?
A greenhouse effect traps heat that would otherwise escape out to space, so it keeps the planet warm.
What is the beautiful effect of the greenhouse effect?
The beautiful effect of the greenhouse effect is that it keeps us warm. The natural greenhouse effect is supported by the water and carbon cycles moving water and carbon in and out of the atmosphere, in balance. Without this natural effect the earth would be much colder, probably frozen, and we couldn't survive.
If the greenhouse effect went out of control what would you have?
You could have a runaway greenhouse effect, where positive feedbacks increase so rapidly that the temperature rises too fast and too high to control. Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, and the oceans have boiled dry and the ground temperature is about 464 °C (867°F).
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
The process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat is called the greenhouse effect. Certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an overall warming of the planet. This process helps to regulate the Earth's temperature and make it suitable for supporting life.
What does the greenhouse effect maintain?
The greenhouse effect maintains temperature. Another word for a greenhouse is "hothouse." Without the greenhouse effect of our atmosphere, earth's surface would be more like that of the moon--baked during the day and cold at night. Just not quite as severe, as the lunar day is a month long.
How can things change the greenhouse effect in the future?
We could change the greenhouse effect in the future by planting billions of fast-growing trees. This would remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the enhanced greenhouse effect that we have now would slow down.
