Greenhouse Gas Effect
Ozone, carbon dioxide and methane are all examples of these.
What are greenhouse gases?
This feature of Earth's atmosphere is responsible for reflecting a good amount of the Sun's energy back into space.
What are clouds?
This is the transfer of energy by direct contact.
What is conduction?
This is a way more greenhouse gases are being produced.
what is burning fossil fuels? (other answers may be accepted)
From Earth, the sun does not look as bright as it truly is because this kind of light is partially blocked by the atmosphere.
What is visible light?
This is the transfer of energy in the form of waves.
What is radiation?
This is the effect of having increased amounts of greenhouse gases.
What is increased global temperatures? or less cooling at night? or less warm air escaping?
This amount of the Sun's energy gets reflected back into space by clouds.
What is about 25%?
What is convection?
What is infrared heat?
this amount of the Suns energy gets absorbed by Earth's surface and warms Earth.
What is about 50%
Energy from the Sun reaches Earth's atmosphere by this form of heat transfer.
What is radiation?
These are the "natural" and good gases that are found in earths atmosphere to keep us from freezing. (three of them)
What are water vapor, nitrogen gas and ozone?
This amount of the Sun's energy gets absorbed by the gases in the atmosphere.
What is about 25%?
Heat energy is distributed from the equator to the poles of the Earth by this this form of heat transfer.
What is convection?
