greenhouse gases and albedo affect

What is earths atmosphere made of

Gases

What are greenhouse gases

Gases that trap heat

Can we see greenhouse gases

No

True or false. Greenhouse gases only absorb heat

False

Which greenhouse effect is good

The natural greenhouse effect

Does more or less heat escape into space during natural greenhouse effect

More

Does more or less heat escape into space during human enhanced greenhouse effect

Less

If all light is reflected then the albedo is

100% or 1

The albedo affect

Measure the percentage of light that is reflected off of a surface

increase in albedo results in

The overall global temperature decreasing since less heat is absorbed

Albedo affects the __________ or earth

Temperature

Why does albedo affect the temperature of the earth?

Since light colors reflect more sunlight while dark colors reflect less

How much does high albedo absorb and reflect of incoming radiation?

Absorb 100%, reflect 80%

How much does low albedo absorb and reflect of incoming radiation?

Absorb 100%, reflect 10%

As the glaciers melt what happens

There is there is less ice to reflect the sun. This makes the glaciers melt more, which means there is even less ice to reflect the sun which makes the glaciers melt even more.

89° is an example of

Weather

Cold winters are an example of

Climate

Weather

State of the atmosphere in a particular place and time

Climate

Refers to the average weather conditions overtime

Weather is long term or short term?

Short term

Climate is long term or short term?

Long term
