Water vapor is by far the most abundant, but also the weakest. Carbon dioxide is the next most abundant, but also relatively weak. Methane is quite potent, and after that are halocarbons among others, which are extremely potent but not at all abundant.

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.


Which gas accounts for the majority of greenhouse gasses?

The most common greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is water vapour, however, this is part of the carbon cycle. The most common greenhouse gas that is causing global warming is Carbon dioxide.


What can you burn that will increase the amount of greenhouse gasses?

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


How is green house gas measured?

There are a number of tools available to track greenhouse gasses. They include portfolio managers, audits, and calculators. These tools are used by a number of organizations and corporations to keep track of greenhouse gasses.


Is carbon dioxiode a gas?

Where in the atmosphere are greenhouse gases?

All of it . . . the largest amount of greenhouse gas is plain old water vapor. (Humidity) Without the greenhouse gasses, the Earth would be an icy ball with no animals, plants, or humans.


What other gases might increase the greenhouse effect?

There are 5 major greenhouse gasses: water vapour, carbon dioxide (also known as CO2), methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Water vapour is the strongest greenhouse gas but it happens largely naturally (ie ocean water evaporates when the sun shines on it). The other four are largely anthropogenic (man-made) greenhouse gasses. See chart linked below for detailed information on greenhouse gasses (GHG's) and their contribution to the greenhouse effect.


Does solar energy have greenhouse gasses?

No.


Is oil a greenhouse gas?

No, oil itself is not a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. However, when oil is burned or used as a fuel source, it releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.


Are greenhouse gasses less of a problem than carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a green house gas. It is a minor contributor to the total greenhouse effect producing over 5% of all warming.


Which gas traps heat into the atmosphere?

Carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas that absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, contributing to the warming of the planet known as the greenhouse effect.
