The atmosphere acts like a glass house by trapping heat from the Sun within the Earth's surface, similar to how glass traps heat inside a greenhouse. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, helps regulate the Earth's temperature and keeps it suitable for life. However, human activities that release greenhouse gases can enhance this effect, leading to global warming.

Why is the atmosphere called the cozy blanket?
the clouds in the atmosphere act as a blanket keeping warm air from escaping the atmosphere
Process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat?
This process is called the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface. Some of this heat is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which act like a blanket by preventing the heat from escaping back into space.
In what occupation would you rotate the Gog at the end of your nose?
The occupation would be a circus performer specializing in humorous or comedic acts. The act may involve using unusual props like a Gog, a rotating device that adds a comedic element to the performance.
Raindrops are formed when water vapor condenses on?
tiny dust particles in the atmosphere, which act as nuclei for the water vapor to gather and form droplets. Once these droplets become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as rain.
Why it is usually colder in clear nights than on nights witch cloudy skies?
Clear nights allow heat to escape into the atmosphere more easily, leading to cooler temperatures. Clouds act as a barrier, trapping heat and preventing it from escaping, resulting in warmer temperatures.
The gases of your atmosphere especially water vapor and caron dioxide act very much like in what in the greenehouse?
The answer is Glass.
Does silica act like glass shards inside your arteries?
Silica acts like glass shards in your arteries. It can kill you.
How do you act like the warrior cats?
Follow the actions of a house cat. Then you would act like a "kittypet"
How does a green house keep earth from losing energy?
A greenhouse works by trapping heat from the sun within its structure, causing the air inside to warm up. This warmth is then retained by the glass walls of the greenhouse, preventing it from escaping back into the atmosphere. In the Earth's natural greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere act similarly to the glass walls of a greenhouse, helping to trap heat and keep the planet warm.
What is difficult to describe as a liquid?
Glass is technically a liquid but it does not act like normal liquids.
Why is the glass stem of a thermometer designed to act like a magnifying glass?
The glass stem of a thermometer is not designed to act like a magnifying glass. Its purpose is to contain the temperature-sensitive liquid or metal that expands or contracts with temperature changes to provide a reading on the thermometer scale. Magnifying glasses have a different purpose of magnifying objects placed beneath them.
Is there another word for mirror?
mirror, as in the noun/object: looking glass, hand glass, seeing glass mirror, as in the verb: reflect, copy, act like, mimic, emulate.
Why is green house effect called green house effect?
Because the "greenhouse gases" act similarly to a greenhouse. The heat goes through the gases (glass panes) and is stored on Earth (greenhouse) and is unable to exit back into the atmosphere (sky). Google "greenhouse effect" and go look at the images, the pictures on the first page will help you to understand my analogy.
Why did the colonist opposed the stamp act and townshend act?
because it taxed needed things like glass paper paint lead and tea
How does carbon dioxide in the atmosphere act like a greenhouse?
Sunlight that travels from the sun, through the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the Earth will heat up the Earth, including the atmosphere.Carbon Dioxide then will act like a blanket to all this heat, keeping it from being expelled out of Earth's atmosphere and into space.That is the effect a greenhouse has with moderating the temperature for the incumbent vegetation.
How does carbon dioxide act like a greenhouse?
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which captures heat rising from the surface of the earth and stops it escaping into space. In the same kind of way the glass in a greenhouse lets in the heat, but stops it escaping into the colder atmosphere outside.
How does the atmosphere on venus act like a greenhouse?
The atmosphere is very thick because of all the Carbon Dioxide. Therefore, it holds in the sun's heat which is not allowed to escape.
