Sentences with phrase «heat from the sun»

The water absorbs heat from the sun during the day, and then holds onto that heat after temperatures start to cool.

Their bodies could store plenty of heat from the sun.

Another positive feedback of global warming is the albedo effect: less white summer ice means more dark open water, which absorbs more heat from the sun.

Hear the words «global warming,» and most likely you'll think up images of greenhouse gases trapping heat from the sun, warming the planet.

While UV rays make up about 7 percent of solar light, the IR kind (which we mainly experience as heat from the sun) comprise a whopping 53 percent.

The «fact» may be wrong (thermometer is broken) or meaningless — the radiant heat from the sun is what cooks you, not the air temperature.

When the sun is out, be sure to have your blinds open and let all that heat from the sun into your home.

Because clouds affect how the earth's atmosphere either traps or reflects heat from the sun, understanding cloud cover will help scientists build better climate models going forward.

Colors - By choosing colors that are lighter, my fabrics aren't absorbing so much heat from the sun.

Firstly, the green surfaces absorb less heat from the sun.

The greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, trap enough heat from the sun and stop it escaping into space.

We need greenhouse gases to capture and hold heat from the sun.

Once heat from the sun gets to the surface of the rocky planet, a lot of it is trapped there.

During the winter months, the system transfers heat from the sun and the ground into the home and, during the summer months, heat in the home is transferred to the ground.

In this activity you will find out — and create some extra heat from the sun.

Dark - colored bowls will absorb more heat from the sun than lighter ones.

Some reflect sunlight, cooling the climate, while others absorb heat from the sun, warming the climate.

The gas traps heat from the sun, and human emissions are causing the planet to warm.

Such windows block almost all the infrared heat from sun rays, while admitting most of the visible light.

I like to harvest early in the day before heat from the sun causes the greens to become limp.

But if you look at 65 - year climate since 1868 plotted against rising CO2 forcing, making the appropriate allowance for variations in heat from the Sun during that period, you get a perfectly straight line heading upwards at a rate of 1.73 °C per doubling of CO2, as can be seen from this graph.

Called absorption chillers, the devices use heat from the Sun to boil the refrigerant out of a solution — typically water from a salt solution, or ammonia gas from water.

The ice itself reflects heat from the Sun back into space and the north cools further.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

Powered by heat from the sun's energy, the Hadley Circulation is a «transportation» system for warm and moist air moving away from the equator.

And when soot falls on snow or ice, as in the Arctic, its ability to trap heat from the sun helps hasten melting.

Not only will melting Arctic sea ice raise global sea levels, it will also allow the earth to absorb more heat from the sun because ice reflects the sun's rays while blue open water absorbs it.

You can get horizontal pressure gradients from uneven distributions of molecular nitrogen (N2) ice, and you can get horizontal temperature gradients from uneven heating from the sun.

12 Gases in Earth's atmosphere hold in heat from the sun Keeps the atmosphere at a comfortable temperature for living things THE GREENHOUSE HYPOTHESIS

A study by scientists at the University of Washington concluded that heat from the sun made the greatest contribution to the melting, with sunlight adding twice as much heat to the water as was typical before 2000.
