There is no bright sunlight on the surface of Venus. It's not really because of the greenhouse effect, even though Venus does have a big greenhouse effect.

Is Venuses atmosphere so thick it never has a sunny day?

Venus's thick atmosphere creates a greenhouse effect, trapping heat and making it extremely hot. The dense clouds of sulfuric acid in its atmosphere reflect much of the sunlight back into space, so Venus does not have clear, sunny days like on Earth.


Why is a house can be kept cooler on a hot sunny day by closing the windows and curtains?

Closing the windows and curtains on a hot sunny day helps block out direct sunlight and heat from entering the house. This can reduce the greenhouse effect, keeping the interior temperature cooler. It also prevents warm air from circulating and trapping heat inside the house.


How is the inside of a car on a sunny day related to the greenhouse effect?

Heat gets transferred from the window of the car into it. There is so much heat coming in that there is no way the car can keep up with the heat coming in. Trapping the heat. Same thing happens with the green house effect.A:The way a greenhouse works is that the transparent glass is transparent to the wavelengths of the sunlight coming through it, but is not very transparent to the wavelengths of energy trying to radiate back through it. Since we do not see in those wavelengths, the glass looks transparent to us. That is true of a greenhouse where plants are being grown as well as a car with its glass windows. The sunlight coming through the windows pours through easily, but the hot interior of the car radiates the energy back out at a different wavelength where the glass is not transparent. Similarly the greenhouse effect keeps the sun's heat in our atmosphere, preventing it radiating out into space.


What effect does the sun have on weather and the water cycle?

Sun makes the weather sunny. It also helps in evaporation.


Is an urban heat island is similar to the Greenhouse Effect or climate change?

No, these are two different things. The urban heat island has to do with how much heat the earth absorbs, while the greenhouse effect is about how much heat the earth loses. During the daytime, sunlight hits the earth. Some of it is reflected back into space, and some is absorbed by the ground. When the ground absorbs sunlight, it heats up. Some of this heat is then transferred to the air by direct contact; this is what keeps our atmosphere warm. The rest of the ground's heat is re-radiated back into space in the form of infrared light. The greenhouse effect is where gases in the atmosphere like carbon dioxide reflect that IR light back into the ground. Because there is less heat escaping, the temperature of the atmosphere rises. The urban heat island effect happens because artificial surfaces like asphalt absorb more sunlight and reflect less than surfaces like grass or treetops. Because of this, the ground is generally warmer in cities and places with a lot of pavement. Because the ground heats the air, the air in cities will be warmer than air in the country. On a sunny day, the air above a parking lot will always be warmer than the air above a grassy field. An urban heat island is the same effect, just on a bigger scale.

Is the planet Mercury sunny?

its getting light from the sun and its the closest planet to the sun so yes so it is 'sunny'


Explain why Venus is hotter than it would be if it had no astmosphere?

It is similar to a greenhouse here on earth or your house if you open the blinds on a sunny day. The greenhouse (or your house) gets hotter than it is outside. The suns rays heat the crust of the planet and the atmosphere is acting as the glass in the greenhouse example. So the planet surface heats up and the heat is trapped in by the thick atmosphere. Conversely, this is why Mars is so much colder than it could be. The extreme opposite is Mercury. The closest planet to the sun, yet there is frozen ice in the shadows that are created by the craters on its surface! Burn to death in the sun, freeze to death in the shade.

Should you go to Britain on holiday?

no its never sunny its never snowey and it smells


How can you heat a greenhouse?

It will heat itself. If it is sunny outside it will automatically heat. You can also heat it with any kind of room heater.


Why is the inside of a car hotter than he outdoor temperature on a sunny summer day?

windows of car make it like a greenhouse


Why sunny Spain?

Because most of Spain is sunny much of the time.


What can the greenhouse effect can best be compared with?

The green house affect can be compared to one of the following: A car with its windows closed parked in the sun. A person lying on a sunny beach. Steam coming off a pot of boiling water. Heat coming off a fire. You choose.
