Study Notes
Earth's Surface Heat
- The primary source of heat for the Earth's surface is the sun's energy.
Albedo Effect
- An increase in albedo (reflectivity of the Earth's surface) leads to a decrease in the Earth's temperature, as more solar radiation is reflected back into space.
Heat Trapping
- Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are the atmospheric components most responsible for trapping heat and maintaining Earth's temperature.
