The black body spectrum looks at an objects thermal radiation. Images of the Earth's infrared signature (the heat coming off it) show areas where the earth's heat is being blocked. The areas appear to be places were the Earth's warmth is being reflected back to the ground; like in a greenhouse, the heat cannot escape.

How are greenhouse effect black body and weins law associated?

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon where gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, warming the planet. A black body is an idealized object that absorbs all radiation incident upon it. Wien's Law describes the relationship between the temperature of a black body radiator and the wavelength at which it emits the most radiation. In the context of the greenhouse effect, Wien's Law helps explain how gases in the atmosphere absorb and emit thermal radiation, contributing to the overall warming of the Earth.


What is burnt to cause the greenhouse effect?

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas, are burned to produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Where is spectra phantom better in- bakugan new vestroia or bakugan mechtanium surge?

Well... that sort of depends on the viewer whether they liked the new vestroia spectra phantom or the mechtanium surge spectra phantom. The only difference between the two is that spectra changes clothing, from red to black and purple. His helios is a different story.


How does greenhouse effect help us without the suns rays?

(The following Information is fromhttp:/enzperiodzwikipediazperiodzorg/wiki/Greenhouse_effect) The greenhouse effect is the heating of the surface of a planet or moon due to the presence of an atmosphere containing gases that absorb and emit infrared radiation Thus, greenhouse gases trap heat within the surface-troposphere system. This mechanism is fundamentally different from that of an actual greenhouse, which works by isolating warm air inside the structure so that heat is not lost by convection. The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in 1858, and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. In the absence of the greenhouse effect and an atmosphere, the Earth's average surface temperature of 14 °C (57 °F) could be as low as −18 °C (−0.4 °F), the black body temperature of the Earth. Global warming, a recent warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere, is believed to be the result of an "enhanced greenhouse effect" mostly (more than 50%) due to human-produced increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases. This human induced part is referred to as anthropogenic global warming (AGW).

What is the difference between the greenhouse effect and photosynthesis?

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.See this link below for a diagram:Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)


How do you explain about color black?

Black is the complete absence of colour.


How do scientists use different spectra to figure out the composition of the stars outer layer?

Different chemical elements emit (or absorb) certain specific frequencies of light. When the light from a star is split in to it's rainbow spectrum of light, certain parts of the spectrum will be black (in absorption spectra) or brighter (in emission spectra). By comparing these lines to the known emission and absorption spectra of elements, the composition of a stars atmosphere can be determined.
