Explain why the atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from the Earth’s surface rather by direct solar radiation.The atmosphe

re is heated chiefly by radiation from the Earth’s surface because radiation is absorbed by gas molecules. When the gas molecules absorb this radiation that a rise in temperature occurs. Which gases are the primary heat absorbers in the lower atmosphere?Water vapor and carbon dioxide are the primary heat absorbers in the lower atmosphere. How does the earth’s atmosphere act as a "greenhouse"?When solar radiation hits the Earth’s atmosphere some energy is absorbed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gasses in the atmosphere. This energy in result ends up heating up the atmosphere. What is the villain in the global warming problem?The greenhouse effect is the villain in the global warming problem.

Answer:

The temperature of the earth is first heated by the presence of the earth internal factors and then by the external factors.

Explanation:

  • <u>All the gases in the atmosphere cannot absorb the entire radiation given from the sun directly, so the earth's surface gets heated directly first and then re-radiated back to the sky. </u>
  • The Water vapor and carbon dioxide are known as the primary reason for the heating of the earth's atmosphere form the below and they tend to trap the amount of the solar heat and thus heat the surface-atmosphere first and they then give output of this energy in the form of the long waves radiation and thus influences the temperatures of the earth at the night time. Thus forming a greenhouse effect of gases.
  • <u>The villain is the carbon dioxides that gets accumulation the atmosphere and thus ends up heating up of the air </u>

Vsevolod [243]

Question:

If you lived on Mars and observed the solar system from there, _____________ would describe retrograde loops, ______________ would always be seen near the sun, and _________________ would never be visible as crescent phases

Answer:

1. All other planets

2. Mercury, Venus, and Earth

3. Jupiter and Saturn

Explanation:

Living on Mars, all other planets would describe the retrograde loops, while the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, and Earth ) would always be seen near the sun. Planets like the Jupiter and Saturn which are far away from the sun will never have a crescent phase as those that will have a crescent phase must be between the mars and the sun
