Visible light from the sun is absorbed by the Earth's surface, causing it to heat up. This absorbed light energy is then re-emitted as infrared radiation, which is trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, helps to keep the Earth's surface warm.

What is air mass conduction?
Air mass conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between the air and a surface. This process occurs when warmer air comes into contact with a cooler surface, causing the air to lose heat and become cooler. Conversely, when cooler air touches a warmer surface, it gains heat and becomes warmer.
Why many scientists believe earths climate may be getting increasingly warmer?
because by the reforstation and the deforstation
Under which conditions is surface air the least stable?
When surface air is significantly warmer than the air above it
Why does smoke become a flame?
Smoke does not become a flame; rather, it is the combustion of gaseous products released during burning that produces flames. When a material is burned, it breaks down into volatile compounds that can ignite when exposed to sufficient heat and oxygen, resulting in a visible flame.
How would a thirty five degree angle tilt on earths axis affect New York?
It would have warmer summers and colder winters.
How does visible cause earth surface to become warmer?
Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.
Are visible veins hot?
If they're visible, they're near the surface, and probably are indeed warmer than surrounding tissue.
What happens to the earths weather near warmer waters?
the earth temperature become cool in warm temperature
Why earths interior is warmer than earths surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
Is ocean water warmer at surface or 50ft below?
Almost always warmer at the surface.
What is The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface warmer surface water?

Why is Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
Can carbon dioxide affect earths climates?
Yes. it makes it warmer.
Does the weather become colkder or warmer after a warm front?
Warmer
As the depth below the earths surface increases does the temperature increase?
For the most part, yes. (There are exceptions, of course.)
How does the atmosphere attempt to balance the unequal heating of earths surface?
The atmosphere tries to balance the unequal heating of Earth's surface through convection, where warmer air rises and cooler air sinks to distribute heat more evenly. Additionally, winds help transport heat from warmer regions to cooler regions, and cloud cover can reflect sunlight back into space to regulate temperature.
