How many greenhouse gases are released in a rocket launch?
This is an interesting question that gets deeper then you may wish to go. A shuttle launch will release water vapor, which is a greenhouse gas. It is the most common of greenhouse gases. Water vapor is ignored though in terms of man contribution to greenhouse gas because it dissipates quickly and mans contribution to this gas is insignificant. The water vapor produced in a launch remains in the atmosphere for a few hours. Much of the raw material used to create this water vapor also comes from the atmosphere to start with. Man produces almost 0.3% of all greenhouse gases, virtually none of this amount though is from the space program.
What are the gases of Greenhouse Effect?
The "greenhouse effect" is a phenomenon whereby greenhouse gases in the atmosphere act to entrap heat from the sun. This process is thought to be a self-feeding cycle which can spiral out of control. (The planet Venus is a prime example of the greenhouse effect gone wild.) The greenhouse effect is supported by the earth's natural carbon and water cycles which move carbon dioxide and water vapor in and out of the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect has kept the earth comfortably warm for millions of years.A certain amount of greenhouse effect is normal for our environment; however, too much greenhouse gas may result in extreme changes to earth's weather patterns and atmosphere, climate change.Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases which increase the greenhouse effect. It is hoped that by reducing the emissions of these "greenhouse gases" wherever possible we may be able to reduce or eliminate the possibility of a enhanced or accelerated greenhouse effectscenario.A:The Enhanced Greenhouse Effect occurs when too much carbon dioxide is released in the air. This has happened for the past 200 years when we began burning fossil fuels for industry, transport and the generation of electricity. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing the recent warming of the planet. A runaway greenhouse effect is the cause of Venus's very hot climate because it has trapped the sun's heat so much that the oceans have boiled dry.
How far are greenhouse gases from the surface of the earth?
Greenhouse gasses are all around us. In fact, you breathe out carbon dioxide every time you exhale, and when you drink water, you're conusming H2O, which in vapor form is also a greenhouse gas.
What is a greenhouse gas that is not carbon dioxide?
Methane, which comes from the stomachs of cattle and sheep, from thawing tundra, from food rotting in landfill and from drilling for oil and mining, is a greenhouse gas that is much more dangerous than carbon dioxide.A:The most prevalent and common greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for up to 75% of all greenhouse warming. Methane accounts for well under 1% of the overall effect.
How are greenhouses gases helpful?
Greenhouse gases are helpful because they keep the earth warm enough for life. Too much greenhouse gases warm the earth up too much.
What happens if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor weren't in the atmosphere?
The earth would be much colder. These are greenhouse gases.

What effect does water vapor and carbon dioxide play into the greenhouse effect?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide both absorb heat. The sun's heat rises from the surface of the earth and is captured by these greenhouse gases. This natural greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm for millions of years. Too much greenhouse gas, unfortunately, is causing climate change.
Which of the following are greenhouse gases?
Whenever you write a question in the form of "Which of the following...", you must give some possible answers. We cannot read your assignment paper. In general, greenhouse gases are water vapor, methane and (to a much lower extent) carbon dioxide.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
