During what process do gases make up the solution you breath?

It is in respiration that we find a solution or mixture of gases that we breathe in or out.


How are green house gases made?

Gases are made when you heat up solids or liquids. Liquids are made when you cool down gases or heat up solids. Solids are made when you cool down gases or solids. When you heat up solids they make liquids and when you heat up liquids it makes gases. When you heat up gases it makes plasma (plas-mu) but that is very very very very very very hard to make.


Name the gases that make up most stars?

Hydrogen and helium. It's better to ask which two ELEMENTS make up the bulk of the stars, since ALL elements in a star are in the gaseous state.


Why can you hear wind?

Yes you can, wind is the flow of gases on a large scale, therefore if you can witness these gases moving you are witnessing wind. The most clear example of this is Jupiter as a lot of its' atmosphere is made up of colourful gases, which are easy to see. On earth it's harder to witness since most of the gases that make up our atmosphere are transparent. However, if you were able to gather enough of a colourful gas you could create visible winds on earth, much like creating a convection current apparatus, only on a large scale.


Why is the troposphere is called turbulent sphere?

In our atmosphere there are different layers and Troposphere is the lowest layer , which extend up to a height of 10 km. It is called turbulent sphere as it contains air (N2, O2, CO2 )much water vapours and clouds .
