The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas.
Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend.
Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.
What else can I help you with?
Does the greenhouse effect only occur on earth?
No, the greenhouse effect is a natural process that occurs on Earth and other planets with atmospheres. For example, Venus has an extreme greenhouse effect that has resulted in high surface temperatures.
Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
In which atmosphere does most of the greenhouse effect occur?
Most of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere.
When does the greenhouse effect occur?
Carbon emissions are trapped beneath the o-zone layer.
In which atmosphere layer does most of the greenhouse affect occur?
The majority of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This is where greenhouse gases trap heat radiating from the Earth's surface, leading to a warming effect that helps maintain temperatures conducive to life on Earth.
When did the enhanced greenhouse effect occur?
When we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we released billions of tones of EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This changed the natural greenhouse effect to an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.
Where does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect occurs in the Earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane trap heat from the sun, leading to warming of the Earth's surface. This process is essential for maintaining the planet's temperature suitable for life.
Does Pluto feature the runaway greenhouse effect?
Yes.(Another contributor writes:)It has a very thick atmosphere of Carbon dioxide that is thought to be a runaway greenhouse effect. Its average surface pressure due to the thick atmosphere is 93 bar, or 93 times that of Earth's. It is also the hottest planet, with surface temperatures averaging around 460°C (860°F).Yes it does, so hot that it has boiled its oceans dry.
What is the difference between greenhouse effect and greenhouse enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.See this link below for a diagram:Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)
Is the greenhouse effect necessarily bad?
We need some greenhouse effect (good) but not too much (bad).The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Otherwise, we would freeze, the warmth of the day would disappear in the night. The carbon and water cycles keep enough carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere to support this.The accelerated greenhouse effect (which is happening now from man's deforestation and burning of fossil fuel) is the bad effect, causing global warming.
