(iii)
What are the three factors that determine the temperature at the surface of any
planet in the absence of the Greenhouse Effect.
Briefly describe how the Greenhouse Effect makes a planet warmer than it would
otherwise be. A diagram may help.
Is the Greenhouse effect important on Mercury? Venus? Mars? Explain your
answer for each of these planets.
Which property of the Earth's atmosphere causes the greenhouse effect?
The Earth's atmosphere allows radio waves to pass through, but it absorbs some
ultraviolet radiation.
The Earth's atmosphere allows radio waves to pass through, but it absorbs some
infrared radiation.
The Earth's atmosphere allows visible light to pass through, but it absorbs some
infrared radiation.
The Earth's atmosphere allows visible light to pass through, but it absorbs some
ultraviolet radiation.
