What are threat to artificial ecosystem?

green houses also called artificial ecosytems give favorable conditions to plants to grow but the threat is they may wilt without balance of atmospheric gases and sunlight.


Is their any known measurements of how high green house gases rise from the surface of the earth?

Green house gases do not rise in the atmosphere. There is no GHG layer several kilometers up. Gases mix to form an equal percentage distribution throughout the entire atmosphere.


What do greenhouse gases in earth's atmosphere do?

Greeenhouse gases are but a little bit bad it's good if we didn't have green house gases the earth will be frozen


How do green houses gases change the temperature of the atmosphere?

The popular view is that the atmosphere has some sort of layer of carbon dioxide "up there" that reflects heat back down to Earth rather than letting it escape to space. That would be like the glass on a greenhouse trapping warm air in while letting the sunlight through to increase the heat. In a greenhouse the sunlight warms the benches and floor, he warm objects heat the air, the air is trapped by the double layer of insulating glass. It does not happen that way. Sunlight comes in and warms the Earth's surface. It warms the gases in the air too, at least some of them with a bond size that gets excited by sunlight. These special gases are greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and a few others). They are mixed evenly through all of the atmosphere (not in layer). When the gases are warm they share their heat with all their gas molecule neighbour and heat the atmosphere generally. The effect i more like wet sand in a microwave. Microwaves do not heat sand. They do heat water. When you microwave wet sand, the water heats up - might even turn to steam. The hot water warms the sand.


How do bio-gases cause -by contributing to- the green house effect?

The same can be said for all green-house-gases - they reduce the amount of incident [upon the Earth] Sunlight that is reflected 'back' into Space.

What makes a green house gas different from other gases in the atmosphere?

The definition of greenhouse gases are any gas with three or more atoms.Answer:The bond lengths between atoms in green house gases allows them to absorb heat energy more easily from sunlight. This is then shared with other atmospheric gases.


Are green house gases and a green house kind a the same thing?

Indeed they are acting alike. The glass in a green house allows light to enter but reduces the amount of heat that leaves. Green houses gasses in the atmosphere have the same effect on the planet in general.

Do green house gases weaken the ozone?

Yes they do, green house gases are caused by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil. These gases then 'attack' the onzone layer which creates 'holes' in the atmosphere which allows dangerous and harmful radiation into the atmosphere.


What affects the atmosphere?

The atmosphere is affected by pollution and fosil fules or perhaps green house gases.......i think :-)


Having more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will do to the average temperatures in the atmosphere and why?

Green house gases will keep more of the heat that enters the earth. It will raise the temperature

What is meant by green house?

Green house effect is the hypothesis that certain gases in the high atmosphere hold heat in.


What happen to the energy from the sun when is reflected or absurd by the atmosphere?

They get burned in the Green house gases
