What globe out of the CFL and the incandescent releases the least amount of greenhouse gases?

Neither type release greenhouse gasses


Does solar energy have greenhouse gasses?

No.


Is greem house gasses a result of using coal as an energy sourse?

Yes, burning coal releases greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change. Switching to cleaner energy sources like renewable energy can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


What are greenhouse gases and how they are greenhouse gases?

Those gasses that allow the passage of shorter wavelength energy such as light but reflect or absorb longer wavelength energy such as heat. The main such gasses in our atmosphere are water vapour and carbon dioxide.


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

Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).


What energy sources produce no greenhouse gasses?

Renewable energy sources produce no greenhouse gases.Examples are solar, hydro, wind, wave, tidal, geothermal, biomass, biofuel and others.


How do scientist know that greenhouse gases impact our environment?

The geological record shows both the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and the past temperature of the planet.


Which type of energy releases greenhouse gasses when used to make electricity?

Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, release greenhouse gases when burned to generate electricity. The combustion of these fuels emits carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Renewable energy sources, like solar and wind, do not produce greenhouse gas emissions during electricity generation.


Gases in the atmosphere that trap solar energy are called?

Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap solar energy in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming and climate change.


Is oil good to make electricity with?

Kinda-sorta, but not really. Oil is very effective as an energy source fofr turning into electricity- But it is a fossil fuel. THis means that eventually it'll run out, and using it releases pollution and greenhouse gasses into the air.


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 is the amount of solar energy that is absorbed in gasses clouds and ozone?

The solar energy that is absorbed in gasses clouds and ozone is little. The UV spectrum is absorbed.
