Why are some greenhouse gases and some not greenhouse gases?
"Greenhouse gas" is just a catchy term that means "traps heat." Due to the way the atmosphere is layered, some gases trap more heat than others; CO being about the weakest "greenhouse gas."
What country has made the most greenhouse gasses?
China just recently surpassed the US as the largest producer of greenhouse gases.China
What is this trapping of heat called?
The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
Are greenhouse gases just a theory?
Greenhouse gases do exist and are not just a theory. Scientists have known for hundreds of years that some atmospheric gases (water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and others) absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth.
How does the increase in greenhouse gases support the theory of global warming?
Part of the theory of global warming is that greenhouse gases capture the earth's heat. If more greenhouse gases are added to the atmosphere then more heat will be retained.We can measure that levels of greenhouse gases have increased, and we can measure that temperatures have risen. These measurements thus support the theory of global warming.
What gas do plants use in a greenhouse?
Humorous answer: greenhouse gasses Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide, just like when outside and not in a greenhouse.
How can a pound of gasoline equals 3 pounds of greenhouse gas?

What are solutions for addressing green house gases?
One theory is to increase the input of greenhouse gases so that the next "ice age" can be averted.
What country has made the most greenhouse gasses?
China just recently surpassed the US as the largest producer of greenhouse gases.China
What does the greenhouse effect maintain?
The greenhouse effect maintains temperature. Another word for a greenhouse is "hothouse." Without the greenhouse effect of our atmosphere, earth's surface would be more like that of the moon--baked during the day and cold at night. Just not quite as severe, as the lunar day is a month long.
