The earth-atmosphere system maintains equilibrium through the absorption of solar radiation and the re-radiation of that energy back to space as infrared or longwave radiation. This process establishes the temperature balance of the sea/surface on Earth. Radiated energy does not‚ however‚ have unhindered access to and from space. The atmosphere surrounding the earth also carries the ability to absorb radiation‚ and since the atmosphere has a lower temperature than the surface‚ it absorbs more energy

Air Pollution due to Transportation Recently there has been a great emphasis in the media on pollution. In general‚ it seems that governments and citizens are becoming more aware of the impacts of pollution worldwide. One of the most significant forms of pollution is air pollution. Air pollution is a major concern. Transportation is the 3rd major contributor to air pollution. Air pollution caused by cars and airplanes do a lot more damage to the world than most people are aware of. Education is

have been alternating it. The atmospheric greenhouse effect naturally keeps our planet warm enough to be livable. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere. Light-colored surfaces‚ such as clouds or ice caps‚ radiate some heat back into space. But most of the incoming heat warms the planet’s surface. The Earth then radiates some heat back into the atmosphere. Some of that heat is trapped by greenhouse gases in

Abstract Why is Earth the only planet in our solar system capable of sustaining life? Why is Earth the only planet in the solar system that has plentiful liquid water and an atmosphere that can protect the planet from the harmful ultra-violet rays of the Sun? What makes Earth so special? These are some of the questions that will be explored in greater detail as we use Comparative Planetology to understand what makes Earth a habitat for life and what makes it so different from the other planets

or 4‚878 kilometres. Mercury’s average orbital speed is 48 km/s. Its orbit of the Sun lasts for only 87.96 days. Mercury only turns very slowly on its axis‚ taking 58.64 days to complete the turn from day to night. Mercury has an extremely thin atmosphere around it to protect it from the Sun or to retain any heat when it rotates on its axis. The side facing the sun may reach temperatures of 400° Celsius or 750° Fahrenheit and the side facing away from the sun may drop to -200° Celsius or -328° Fahrenheit

greenhouse effect is the effect of heat in the atmosphere which is causing more problems in the earth. The gases in the atmosphere‚ warmth from the sun would rebound back into space. Lot of gas in the air causes a large amount heat to be engrossed into the atmosphere also the heat of the sun’s energy warmth the world’s atmosphere. This Enhanced Green House effect experiment is to demonstrate that earth’s heat may be increasing because of the atmosphere in earth. The equipment that I used are two plastic

sources that emit sulfur directly into the atmosphere‚ including volcanic eruptions‚ the breakdown of organic matter in swamps and tidal flats‚ and the evaporation of water. Sulfur eventually settles back into the Earth or comes down within rainfall. A continuous loss of sulfur from terrestrial ecosystem runoff occurs through drainage into lakes and streams‚ and eventually oceans. Sulfur also enters the ocean through fallout from the Earth’s atmosphere. Within the ocean‚ some sulfur cycles through
