By increasing the abundance of these gases in the atmosphere, humankind is increasing the overall warming of the Earth s surface and lower atmosphere, a process called global warming.. The figure below illustrates the radiation balance and the role of greenhouse effect. Illustration of the Earth s radiative balance.
Radiation causes the atmosphere particles in this layer to become electrically charged (see ionosphere), enabling radio waves to bounce off and be received beyond the horizon. In the exosphere, beginning at 500 to 1,000 kilometres (310 to 620 mi) above the Earth's surface, the atmosphere turns into space.hermospheric temperatures increase with altitude due to absorption of highly energetic solar radiation. Temperatures are highly dependent on solar activity, and can rise to 2,000 Â°C (3,630 Â°F).
