What else can I help you with?
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.
Which fundamental force of nature is responsible for keeping you on earths surface?
The force responsible for keeping you on Earth's surface is the gravitational force. This force is generated by the mass of the Earth, which pulls objects towards its center.
Which form of electromagnetic energy is radiated from the earths surface with the greatest intensity?
infared
When the suns rays strike earths surface what does energy do?
When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface, the energy is either absorbed, reflected, or scattered. This energy is essential for driving various processes on Earth, such as warming the surface, powering the water cycle, and enabling photosynthesis in plants.
Height of an object above earths surface?
The height of an object above Earth's surface is known as its altitude or elevation. It is typically measured in units such as meters or feet from the surface of the Earth to the object. This measurement is important in fields such as aviation, geography, and geology.
What absorbs energy that is radiation from earths surface?
the greenhouse effect!
What absorbed the most energy that is radiated from earths surface?
the greenhouse
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
What are the componets of natural gas?
the earths surface is bound connect with the atmosphere that represents the greenhouse effect.
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
What is the name for the effect that is produced when warm air near earth earths surface bends light rays?
greenhouse effect
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 is the trapping of heat near a planet's surface by certain gases in the planet's atmosphere?
We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
How does the Greenhouse Effect affect the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect helps the atmosphere by keeping the suns rays on earth acting like a bubble letting sun light in but trapping as it tries to bounce of earths surface keeping earth warm
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.
