  1. Carbon dioxide (CO2): We produce too much CO2 by burning fossil fuels (coal to make electricity, and oil for heating and transport.
  2. Methane (CH4): We produce too much CH4 by raising cattle. Cattle belching and manure release the gas, twenty-one times more powerful than CO2.

What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.


Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.


How are greenhouses gases helpful?

Greenhouse gases are helpful because they trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, which keeps the planet warm enough to support life. Without greenhouse gases, Earth would be too cold for humans, plants, and animals to survive. However, an overabundance of greenhouse gases can lead to climate change and negative impacts on ecosystems.


What if you did not have greenhouse gas?

Without greenhouse gases, Earth would be much colder and unable to support life as we know it. Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun and keep our planet at a temperature suitable for living organisms to thrive.


Do grass clippings make greenhouse gases?

Decomposing grass clippings release carbon dioxide under aerobic conditions and if burned. They release methane if decomposed under anaerobic conditions. These gases are greenhouse gases. The carbon dioxide emissions pretty much balance with the amount removed to create the grass. The methane is 21 times as potent a GHG as carbon dioxide so the greenhouse impact would be more significant.


Where do greenhouses gases trap energy?

Greenhouse gases are very light but they change how sunlight is reflected back out into space in that greenhouse gases do not allow as much sunlight to be reflected. This increases the amount of energy held within the atmosphere and warms the planet


How do greenhouse gases maintain earth's temperature of earth?

Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing it from escaping into space. This trapped heat warms the planet, creating a stable temperature range that supports life. Without greenhouse gases, Earth would be much colder and uninhabitable.


What would the Earth's temperature be if there were no greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere?

If there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature would be much colder than it is now. Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun, so without them, the Earth would lose more heat and the average temperature would be significantly lower.


What are the GreenHouse Gas emissions in Antarctica?

Truly, there aren't enough machines producing greenhouse gases on the Antarctic continent to have much effect at all.


What are greenhouse gases used for?

Normally greenhouse gases are bad, but without it, Earth would have no way of holding in heat and our planet would be below 0 degrees. We're just putting out too much.


How much surface area of the earth is covered by greenhouse gases?

Greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, are part of the Earth's atmosphere; as such, they cover all of the Earth's surface. The whole world is covered by atmosphere.


How would earths average temperature be different if there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all.?

If there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, Earth's average temperature would be significantly colder. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, helping to keep the planet warm. Without them, Earth's surface would not retain as much heat from the sun, resulting in much lower temperatures.
