Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.

Does a planet need atmosphere to have a Greenhouse Effect?

Yes. The greenhouse effect is caused by gasses that block thermal radiation from a planet's surface.


Does a planet need an atmosphere to have a greenhouse effect?

Yes. It is the atmosphere that traps heat. There is no greenhouse effect on the moon, which essentially has no atmosphere. In addition, the atmosphere should have heat absorbing gases. Nitrogen and oxygen trap very little heat, so their "greenhouse effect" is minimal. Using nitrogen to trap heat is like using a metal porch screen as a blanket. It is not very effective.


Do you agree that the planet is warming up and we need to do something about the greenhouse effect?

No.A:Yes.


What is the correlation of CO2 and temperature?

CO2 is a greenhouse gas. The more CO2 in the atmosphere, the more greenhouse effect we will get. The greenhouse effect is when our atmosphere reflects heat trying to leave Earth back to it. We need some of this heat back, but if we get too much of the greenhouse effect, global temperatures will keep rising higher and higher.


What would happen if there was no green house effect?

Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's temperature would be much lower, making the planet uninhabitable for most forms of life. The greenhouse effect is essential for trapping heat in the atmosphere and maintaining a suitable temperature range for life to thrive on Earth.


Why do you need greenhouses?

Greenhouse gases are needed to keep the planet warm. If it was not for greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the earth would be like the moon, warm during the day and frozen at night.


Does a planet need an atmosphere?

No. The planet Mercury does not have an atmosphere.


Does all planets have the greenhouse effect?

The only planet that "emits" light is the Earth, from all of the artificial lamps here. Green lights would be the color of mercury vapor streetlamps, which are the bane of astronomers (light pollution) and women everywhere (because the greenish light on makeup looks ghastly).


What is the cause effect and solution of the greenhouse effect?

Normal greenhouse effect:The cause of the normal greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that capture the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the earth.The effect of the normal greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm enough for life.We do not need a solution for the normal greenhouse effect because it is not a problem for us.Enhanced greenhouse effect:The cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect is the extra greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane, that we have been adding to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, mostly by burning coal, oil and natural gas. Deforestation means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.The effect of the enhanced greenhouse effect is to make the atmosphere warmer, all over the world - global warming.The solution for the enhanced greenhouse effect is for the whole world to use renewable energy sources for industry, transport and electricity, so we can stop burning fossil fuels. If the world plants more forests the trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If we improve our agricultural practices we can reduce the amount of methane put into the atmosphere.


Process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat?

This process is called the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation from the sun passes through Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface. Some of this heat is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which act like a blanket by preventing the heat from escaping back into space.


What are your reactions regarding to greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life. We really need it. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming is what we need to stop!


How does the manufacture of concrete contribute to the greenhouse effect?

The use of concrete cools the planet when compared to asphalt. The albedo of concrete is better then that of asphalt or other darker materials.I guess we need to understand what we consider to be the manufacturing point.If we are discussing the actual pouring of cement, the overall effect is cooling.AnswerThe greenhouse effect is the result of atmospheric greenhouse gases, principally carbon dioxide, retaining heat. Any increase in the atmospheric level of a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect and therefore to global warming. Concrete is made from cement, and it is when we look at the manufacture of cement that we see a real and significant contribution to the greenhouse effect. The manufacture of cement releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and is an important contributor to the greenhouse effect.
