Greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane act to slow down the escape of infrared radiation from the atmosphere. It is this trapped radiation that warms up the planet.
The greenhouse effect warms the 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.
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
They slow the loss of heat
Our Atmosphere.
No, they are gases that enter the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and potentially leading to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Greenhouse gases extend very high. They extend in the troposphere.
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperature on Earth. Some of the key greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
