Greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide, and methane are not caused by the sun. They are warmed by the sun and they hold the heat to keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect.
gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun
Yes! Global warming is caused by the heat of the sun and the greenhouse gases in the air. All energy on earth comes originally from the sun. The sun's heat radiates off the earth and is trapped by the greenhouse gases, which get warm.Rising greenhouse gas levels, from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation(cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere), means the earth is getting warmer and warmer!
The ozone depletion is caused due to CFC's. It is also caused by greenhouse gases.
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
No, they are not.
The warmth of the sun and the global winds mix the greenhouse gases all round the world, so there is nowhere that has more, or less of the greenhouse gases.
greenhouse gasesThe main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
The greenhouse effect is caused on a molecular level by the greenhouse gases combing, thus forming the greenhouse effect and that's what causes it to be on a molecular level.

No, it is caused by harmful gases being released into the air and our sun is actually becoming cooler over time.Further information:Earth has both a natural and a man-made greenhouse effect.Its natural greenhouse effect is caused mostly by water vapour, and to a much smaller degree, to carbon dioxide, methane, and a few other minor gases. These factors help keep the Earth warm and habitable.The "unnatural" greenhouse effect is what results from the burning of fossil fuels and rainforest trees, which release extra carbon when they are felled and burnt.
The Sun is the source of energy. Heat from the sun radiates up from the surface of the earth and warms the greenhouse gases.
The ozone depletion is caused due to CFC's. It is also caused by greenhouse gases.
Global warming in the atmosphere is the heat caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases produced by industrial factories are the main causes of greenhouse effects.
