An example: a car parked
outside on a cold, sunny day. Incoming solar radiation warms the car's
interior, but outgoing thermal radiation is trapped inside the car's
closed windows.
So Greenhouse effect is the exchange of
incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth. www.mother-nature-blog.com
“There's a delicate balancing act occurring every day all
across the Earth, involving the radiation the planet receives from space and
the radiation that's reflected back out to space.
[Earth is constantly bombarded with enormous amounts of
radiation, primarily from the sun. This solar radiation strikes the Earth's atmosphere in the form of visible light, plus ultraviolet (UV),
infrared (IR) and other types of radiation that are invisible to the human
eye.]
It's this equilibrium of incoming and outgoing
radiation that makes the Earth habitable, with an average temperature
of about 59 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius), according to NASA.” http://www.livescience.com/37743-greenhouse-effect.html
However, due to increased levels of
carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants in the atmosphere, this
balance has been disturbed, leading too…
‘Global warming’ taking place – which is a
gradual increase in the overall temperature – that is…the gradual heating of
Earth’s surface, oceans and atmosphere.
What is CFC’s? (Chlorofluorocarbon)
“Any of a class of compounds of carbon, hydrogen,
chlorine, and fluorine, typically gases used in refrigerants and aerosol
propellants. They are harmful to the ozone layer in the earth's atmosphere
owing to the release of chlorine atoms on exposure to ultraviolet radiation.” https://www.google.co.za/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=active&q=what+is+cfcPlease visit our other sites:
