The greenhouse effect, or the warming effect of Earth's atmosphere, was compared to glass buildings (greenhouses) built to protect and warm plants through.

Is skin conductor?

A fun fact, everything is a conductor if you place enough voltage across it, but normally through a 9 volt household battery, a skin insulates against that.


Is a penny a insulator or an conducter?

A penny is a conductor because it allows electricity to flow through it due to its metal properties. This means that it conducts electricity rather than insulates it.


Where can you buy prayer plants?

Prayer plants can be purchased at local greenhouses and florists. Another place to purchase them is online through nursery chain websites and auctions sites.


How does heat enter a greenhouse?

Greenhouses are made with glass panes in which glass lets in light. so the sun rays enter through the glass and provide the light for the plants


How does a greenhouse produce energy?

A greenhouse does not typically produce energy. Instead, it relies on natural sunlight to provide energy for plant growth through the process of photosynthesis. Some greenhouses may use solar panels to generate electricity for heating, lighting, or other energy needs, but this is not a primary function of a greenhouse.


What is the U value of a window?

The U value of a window measures how well it insulates against heat transfer. A lower U value indicates better insulation, meaning less heat is lost or gained through the window.


Which gas is sometimes pumped into greenhouses to make plants grow faster?

Carbon dioxide is the gas which sometimes is pumped into greenhouses to make plants grow faster.Specifically, the gas in question (CO2) has an essential role to play in photosynthesis. Light energy interacts with carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars. The sugars will be transported throughout the plant to promote flowering, fruiting and overall growing.


Does copper wire in a circuit conduct or insulates electricity?

Copper wire is a good conductor of electricity. It allows electric current to flow through it with minimal resistance, making it an ideal material for use in electrical circuits.


What makes an insulator insulate?

A material that insulates, especially a nonconductor of sound, heat, or electricity. A device that insulates another material or space from something. For instance glass is a good insulator from electricity. The electrons will not flow through glass. Cork is a good insulator from sound. Sound waves have a hard time passing through cork. Wood is a good insulator from heat.


Do greenhouses block uv rays?

Greenhouses typically are made of materials that filter out some of the UV rays, but not all. While they can reduce the amount of UV radiation entering the greenhouse, some UV rays may still pass through. It's important to consider the materials used in the construction of the greenhouse to determine its UV-blocking capabilities.
