Is heat/temperature a product of light propagation via atmospheric resistance of light ?

Featured Replies

A top of a mountain has snow because the atmosphere is less dense at altitude ,  therefore there is less atmospheric resistance ! 

Yes ?

Light in a vacuum travels at c, light slows down passing through a medium because the medium resists /opposes the lights travel . 

The Earths atmosphere is a medium , it opposes the lights travel . At altitude the atmosphere is less dense therefore it has less resistance . 

The answer is yes ! 

Heat is a product of atmospheric resistance and that is why a fire does not burn in a vacuum because there is no atmospheric resistance . 

 

But anyway , the earth is losing atmosphere into space and by removing the green houses gases we have even less atmospheric resistance . 

This allows for light to travel faster to the surface of the earth from the sun and has speeded up the process of light propagation that is creating the heat . 

The suns incident rays current in space is cold , it only becomes heated when there is current resistance and/or an inverted current . I.e The ground gets heated and then creates a current the opposite direction to the incident current creating denser propagation (heat) . 

Without atmosphere there is no heat , the atmosphere propagates the light . 

This is a world emergency post by the way , you really should try to understand .

..everyone here understands that your understanding of physics and chemistry is petty..

..doesn't burn because there is no Oxygen. Rockets have Oxygen in their fuel tanks, so..
