- The greenhouse gas effect
- Radiation and out
- When things are hot they send out electromagnetic radiation.
- Sun release UV, visible and IF.
- The earth will also emit mainly IF radiation.
- The radiation that is used by the earth is used to make the earth warmer.
- What is not used is sent back out
- The radiation that is used by the earth is used to make the earth warmer.

- Methane
- This is a greenhouse gas. It absorbs IV radiation emitted by the earth
- It stop the IV radiation being re-radiated into space making us warmer
- When it. Absorbs radiating 2 things can happen
- The radiation is re-radiated in all direction and can come back and hit the earth
- He absorption can increase the vibrational energy of the methane molecule
- Other greenhouse gasses
- A greenhouse gas is something that traps only iv radiation and release the rest
- Not all greenhouse have the same potency there are factors that need to be taken into account
- Another is the globe warming potential
- And the average life time in the troposphere
- Radiation and out
- One is the tropospheric abundance
- Not all greenhouse have the same potency there are factors that need to be taken into account
- Another is the globe warming potential
- And the average life time in the troposphere
- Not all greenhouse have the same potency there are factors that need to be taken into account
