How does green house effect help in keeping the temperature of earth’s surface suitable for living of human beings?
उत्तर
From sun, we receive 1366W m-2 energy at the top of our earth's atmosphere, out of which only 235Wm-2 energy reaches near the earth's surface. The earth and ocean surface absorbs 168 W m-2 energy and only 67 W m-2 energy remains in the lower atmosphere. With this much energy received on earth surface, its actual surface temperature would have been around -180C which is quite uncomfortable for human living. Fortunately the greenhouse gases present in the earth's atmosphere contribute in trapping the heat energy within the atmosphere and they produce an average warming effect of about 330C to keep the effective temperature around 150C. So, greenhouse effect helps in keeping the temperature of earth's surface suitable for living of human beings.
