07 Greenhouse Effect

07 Greenhouse Effect

We will be using the PhET Greenhouse Effect Simulation to complete this activity.

What is the temperature in Celsius with no greenhouse gases?

What is the temperature in Celsius with clouds?

How are greenhouse gases beneficial (good) for the Earth?

How are greenhouse gases harmful (bad) for the Earth?

Bonus video!

Solar radiation (sunlight) can be emitted, reflected, or absorbed. Match each term to its definition.

We will be using the PhET Greenhouse Effect Simulation to complete this activity.

Part 1: On Greenhouse Effect Waves tab, set greenhouse gas concentration to NONE. Uncheck the CLOUD. Observe the sunlight and infrared energy waves.

What happens to sunlight Energy Waves?

What happens to the infrared Energy Waves?

What is the temperature in Celsius with no greenhouse gases?

Add a cloud by checking the CLOUD box. How does the activity of the sunlight and infrared energy change?

What is the temperature in Celsius with clouds?

Part 2: On Greenhouse Effect Waves tab, set greenhouse gas concentration to LOTS. Uncheck the CLOUD. Observe the sunlight and infrared energy waves.

What happens to sunlight Energy Waves?

What happens to infrared Energy Waves?

How are greenhouse gases beneficial (good) for the Earth?

How are greenhouse gases harmful (bad) for the Earth?
