Answer 6

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be in the absence of its atmosphere. If a planet's atmosphere contains radiatively active gases (i.e. greenhouse gases) the atmosphere radiates energy in all directions.

Answer 7

so if the greenhouse effect causes things to warm,
greenhouse _____ must also...

Answer 8

Answer 9

i think c ?

Answer 10

would heat energy going into space =heat up earth?
or heat energy heating up earths atmosphere =heat up earth?

Answer 11

im confused ??

Answer 12

If the heat energy reflects away into space, would that heat up earth?

Answer 13

(It is a yes or no question...)

Answer 22

Yes, B is correct

Answer 23

ok thank you i have 2 more
