Earth's Energy

The warming of the atmosphere by the trapping of heat being radiated to space is called

• evaporation

• condensation

• the greenhouse effect

• radiation

Without any greenhouse effect the Earth would be...

• Fine

• Too Cold to Support Life

• Very Hot

How does the Earth keep itself warm?

• Sunlight keeps the Earth warm.

• There are heat lamps orbitting above the Earth's atmosphere.

• The greenhouse gases trap the warm air and send it back to the Earth's surface.
