The earth is hotter at its core and cooler as we look farther out. As regards the surface of the planet, it is warmer at the equator, and cooler toward and at the poles. There will be some slight variation owing to seasonal changes, but that is the basic answer.

Which part of the earth receive less heat why?

The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.


What would happen if more of the suns heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat was released into space would the earth get hotter or colder?

If more of the sun's heat became trapped, it would be like putting a heavy blanket over the Earth. Everything would become warmer.


What is current in earth's mantle that transfer heat in earth's interior?

In Earth's mantle, heat transfer occurs primarily through convection. This process involves the movement of hotter, less dense material rising towards the surface while cooler, denser material sinks. Additionally, conduction also plays a role, where heat is transferred through direct contact between particles. Together, these mechanisms facilitate the transfer of heat in Earth's interior.


What parts of earth does the sun warms?

The sun warms the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans. The sunlight is absorbed by the Earth's surface, causing it to heat up and then radiate heat back into the atmosphere. The atmosphere traps some of this heat, leading to the warming of the planet.


How is heat within earth's interior transferred primarily?

The heat in the Inner Core is generated by radioactive decay, and a small contribution from gravitational compression.This is transferred to the Outer Core by conduction and probably some convection as well, for the Outer Core is under less pressure and is partly fluid.The magma is fully fluid (if somewhat viscous) and conduction and convection both have their part in the transfer of heat.

What do you think will happen if the earth absorbs more heat and release less heat?

If the earth absorbs the heat, the earth will become very dry and superheated. This will cause many bushfires.


How does the heat form the sun travel to the earth?

Heat travels from the Sun to the Earth in waves. These waves are part of the solar radiation process.


Why temperature falls as you go higher?

the earth gives off much heat. as you ascend higher into the atmosphere, there is less heat from the earth, and fewer UV.

No.


What would happen if more of suns heat became trapped in earth's atmosphere and less heat was released into space?

The Earth would start to heat up and the ocean would evaporate.
