Why can't light in a greenhouse be too bright or too dark?
Light that is too bright can lead to overheating of the greenhouse and damage to the plants. On the other hand, insufficient light can lead to poor growth and weak, spindly plants. Finding the right balance of light is crucial for optimal plant growth in a greenhouse.
Are oxygen and nitrogen important greenhouse gases?
Independently, oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gases (though N2O, NO and NO2 are greenhouse gases). The most important greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Methane, although found in quite low concentrations is also important because of its proportionately greater effect.
Does the greenhouse effect absorb sun light?
Yes It does.
Is nitrogen the most important gas in greenhouse gases?
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas in terms of its overall contribution to global warming. However, nitrogen is also a greenhouse gas and can contribute to climate change when it is released in the form of nitrogen oxides.
Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.
Why is it important to be concerned about pollution and carbon dioxide?
It is important to worry about it, because carbon dioxide is a powerful greenhouse gas that is adding to the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere and contributing to global warming.
What happens as a result of the greenhouse effect?
We stay warm and survive. The greenhouse effect works like this. We get light energy from the sun. When that light energy hits the earth's surface, it turns into heat energy. The earth then heats up the atmosphere and the "greenhouse gases" hold this heat in keeping us warm. If not for the greenhouse effect, the earth's temperature would be about -160o C.
What happens to the size of the waves when reflected in the greenhouse effect?
Visible light radiation comes to us from the sun in the form of short wave ultraviolet light. This warms the surface of the earth. This warmth rises into the atmosphere in the form of infrared, long wave radiation, where it is captured by greenhouse gases in the greenhouse effect.
What is the name for a large greenhouse?
A large greenhouse is often referred to as a "glasshouse" or a "hothouse." These structures are designed to provide a controlled environment for plants to grow, allowing for optimal temperature, humidity, and light levels.
What is the name that scientists give to substances in our atmosphere that allow light in but do not allow heat to escape?
They're commonly called 'greenhouse gasses'.
Removal of important forests such as these in brazil worzens the greenhouse effect why?
Forests absorb greenhouse gases. They are the ones that cause ozone depletion.
Which gas can create the greenhouse effect?
Water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are the most important greenhouse gases.
