i am a student in gombe state university in Nigeria and need answer to the question: what benefits are provided by the earth's atmosphere? it gives us atmosperic pressure,the ozone layer sheilds us from uv rays,the lonosphere layer allows us to bounce radiowaves off it thus giving us radio,it prevents water from vaporising and beeing lost by allowing clouds to form it prevents most metors from lending (it burns them up) also it helps the regulation of the earths teperature

What layer of the atmosphere is first struck by sunlight?
The exosphere is the layer of the atmosphere first struck by sunlight
How do rainbows form in earths atmosphere?
rainbow form by the sunlight after the rain
How does the sunlight affect the atmosphere?
It heats it up by about 30 degrees C.
How does direct sunlight affect the earth?
Too much heat depletes the ozone layer making earth more warmer.
How does sunlight and starlight travel to the earth and what happens when it meets your atmosphere?
waves in the aether. Gunboat Gladstone, Tarporley
What occurs in the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is where all the c02 in the atmosphere allows the sunlight in, but instead of the regular process where the sunlight goes away from Earth, the c02 traps the sunlight in, cooking Earth and increasing the temperature, leading to global warming.
What effect does sunlight have on Titan's atmosphere?
Sunlight interacts with the methane on Titan and induces chemical reactions that produce a variety of other carbon-hydrogen compounds, or hydrocarbons.
What layer of the atmosphere is first struck by sunlight?
The exosphere is the layer of the atmosphere first struck by sunlight
What causes sunlight to pass through the upper atmosphere?
Sunlight can pass through atmosphere. But not the part containing UV rays.
How does back into the atmosphere?
After the sunlight heats the ground,the ground delivers the heat to the dust and it goes straight up to the atmosphere. But the hole air doesn't goes to the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect takes some of the heat and the other heat goes up to the galaxy.
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is heated by the ground, which is heated by sunlight.
What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?
Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.
A rainbow forms when sunlight shines on water in what?
A rainbow forms when sunlight shines on water in the atmosphere.
What do you need in atmosphere to sustain life?
oxygen and sunlight
What was the trigger that caused reactions to occur in the atmosphere?
sunlight
How does a tornado effect an atmosphere?
It actually has very little effect on the atmosphere, as it is a very small event compared to the scale of the atmosphere. The parent storm has more effect.
Why dawn is red?
At dawn and dusk, the sun is close to the horizon. This means that it passes through more atmosphere. As a result, the sunlight is scattered to the red end of the visible spectrum, and the dust that naturally occurs in the atmosphere closer to the surface intensifies the effect.
