Mars does have very small amounts of greenhouse gasses, but not enough to help warm the planet.
Yes. Mercury barely has an atmosphere at all.
Wind energy is a very clean source of energy and there is no by product. It does not produce any harmful greenhouse gases. Wind power consumes no fuel.
People, we, are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by:Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).Cattle rearing, rice paddy farming, melting tundra and lakes, which all release methane (CH4).
It's rather like a glasshouse, where the sun's heat comes through the glass but doesn't escape so easily.Similarly some of the sun's heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere by the increase in greenhouse gases. This is known as the greenhouse effect.
Plants are good for the environment for many reasons. The fact that the prevent global warming is just one of them. Other reasons include giving animals homes and food. Plants prevent global warming because they use Carbon Dioxide to make energy for themselves. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which means that it helps trap heat from the Sun in the Earth. This is a good thing, since Earth would be very cold if there were no greenhouse gases, but global warming is caused by there being too many greenhouse gases, which make it too hard for the Earth to cool off naturally. Plants help prevent global warming because they take Carbon Dioxide out of the air.
It does not produce greenhouse gases, as fossil fuels do.
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphereSunlight radiating back from the earth towards spaceThe greenhouse gases catching some of this light and turning it into heat
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
