Question
Chapter 4, Problem 2Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The surface temperatures of both Venus and Earth are warmer than would be expected on the basis of their repective distances from the sun. The reason behind this has to be given.
Concept introduction:
- Ø Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Ø Greenhouse gases are one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming.
Examples:
- Ø Greenhouse effect: The heat near the earth surface gets trapped by the gases present in the earth atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps more heat.
- Ø Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth.
- Ø The earth atmosphere consists of layers such as thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere depending on the temperature and its composition.
