The process is called the greenhouse effect.
The Earth is wrapped in a blanket of air called the 'atmosphere', which is made up of several layers of gases. The sun is much hotter than the Earth and it gives off rays of heat (radiation) that travel through the atmosphere and reach the Earth.The Earth's atmosphere is all around us. It is the air that we breathe. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave much like the glass panes in a greenhouse. Sunlight enters the Earth's atmosphere, passing through the blanket of greenhouse gases. As it reaches the Earth's surface, land, water, and biosphere absorb the sunlight's energy. Once absorbed, this energy is sent back into the atmosphere. Some of the energy passes back into space, but much of it remains trapped in the atmosphere by the greenhouse gases, causing our world to heat up.

There is no "process" that can keep heat from moving between two substances. However it is possible to insulate things to slow down this movement.

∙ 8y agoThe word you are probably looking for is insulation. However, this is not so much a process as the prevention of one.

How heat naturally transferred between objects?
Heat can be transferred in three ways, which are called conduction, convection, and radiation.
When a warm hand is immersed in water that is 70 degrees heat is transferred from the hand to the water through a process called?
Conduction
Heat can be transferred through openings in a building by a process called what?
Sounds like you're having a fire safety test... The answer you need is radiation
What is the transfer of energy when molecules bump into each other through contact?
The energy that is transferred when molecules bump into each other is called conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat energy between substances that are in direct contact with each other.
What is the energy transferred from a hotter object to a cooler object called?
The energy itself is called "heat" or thermal energy. The process is called heat transfer and for objects in contact, it is "conduction" (as opposed to convection or radiation).
What chemical substances that are absorbed by the body through the process are called?
These substances are called nutrients.
What are chemical substances that are absorbed by the body through the process of digestion called?
These substances are called nutrients.
What are the chemical substances that are absorbed by the body through the process of digestion called?
These substances are called nutrients.
What process released substances from a cell?
The process by which substances are released by a cell is called exocytosis.
What is the process in which substances are changed into different substances?
The processes are called chemical reactions.
What is the process of heat transferred in the troposphere called?
convection currents
Heat can be transferred through a liquid by a process called?
Convection
What are Chemical substances that are absorbed by the body through the process of digestion?
These substances are called nutrients.
What processes releases substances from cell?
The process by which substances are released by a cell is called exocytosis.
Information on a coding sequence of DNA is transferred into what molecules?
It is first transferred to an mRNA molecule through a process called transcription. The mRNA is then processed, and the information on the processed mRNA is transferred to the amino acid sequence of a protein through a process called translation.
When substances change from a gas to a liquid what process is that?
This process is called condensation.
Substances tend to move according to their concentration gradients by the process of?
Process of diffusion. Called osmosis for the process with water.
