How do greenhouse gases such as CO2 and N2O contribute to an increase in Earth’s atmospheric temperature?

Physics

Answer:

By trapping the excess heat in the Earth's Atmosphere

Explanation:

When Sun light and other radiations fall on Earth a part of it is reflected back. Greenhouse gases such as CO₂ andN₂O traps the reflected heat and maintain the temperature on Earth. This is required to maintain a temperature that is suitable for survival of life. If these gases are not present in the atmosphere, Earth will be too cold to live. At the same time if these gases are present in large amount, they will trap more heat and thus increase the overall temperature of the Earth resulting in Global Warming.

Due to various reasons the amount of such gases has been increasing in our atmosphere in turn increasing Earth's temperature.

CO2 and N2O keep the energy that gets to Earth from the sun inside the atmosphere. Without greenhouse gases, our planet would be too cold. But due to the recent increase in greenhouse gases, more energy released from the sun is contained in the Earth, heating it up.

In an engine, an almost ideal gas is compressed adiabatically to half its volume. In doing so, 1850 J of work is done on the gas
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The value of change in internal l energy of the gas = 1850 J

Explanation:

Work done on the gas (W) =  - 1850 J

Negative sign is due to work done on the system.

From the first law  we know that Q = Δ U + W ------------- (1)

Where Q = Heat transfer to the gas

Δ U = Change in internal energy of the gas

W = work done on the gas

Since it is adiabatic compression of the gas so heat transfer to the gas is zero.

⇒ Q = 0

So from equation (1)

⇒ Δ U = - W ----------------- (2)

⇒ W = - 1850 J (Given)

⇒ Δ U = - (- 1850)

⇒ Δ U = + 1850 J

This is the value of change in internal energy of the gas.

Why is venus the hottest planet in the solar system
mr Goodwill [35]

Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun, its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms Earth.
