what heats up our atmosphere?

Answer 1

Brad Pitt

.

Answer 2

Insolation is the name given to all forms of energy received from Sun it comes as very short wavelength so doesn't really heat up the atmosphere. when this is re-radiated by earth it is known as terrestial radiation and it is by Terrestrial Radiations, which are of much longer wavelength then the wavelength of Insolation ,so can't easily penetrate the atmosphere and thus responsible for heating up the atmosphere.

Answer 3

I believe both shortwave energy coming from the sun and longwave energy coming from the earth's surface are the two main energy sources to help heat the atmosphere.

Answer 4

one of the factors that is so obviously overlooked in the warmin of our atmosphere is the politicians.

think about it, every four years, the atmosphere tends to heat up and the weather patterns change....now some people will tell you about the wobble-theory wherein the earth is at different angles to the sun, but that is complete doofus.

if we muzzle the politicians and prohibit their public speaking, we will limit the amount of carbon-dioxide they spew into the air, therefore reducing the number of gasses that intermix with the other gasses which produce the warming trends.

p.s. please read the above again, this time with tongue in cheek.

Answer 5

Hi. Sunlight passes through the air, warming the surface which then tries to re-radiate back into space. The infrared does not pass as easily.

Answer 6

Stars. Sun for example.

Answer 7

I think it's the sun... Or friction from air molecules....

Answer 8

sun

Answer 9
