Does nitrogen help slow down the greenhouse effect?

No. Nitrogen, which makes up 78% of the atmosphere, makes no difference to the greenhouse effect.


How is a gardeners greenhouse a miniature version of the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is called that becouse the earth naturally acts like a greenhouse but with the gases (like CO2) going up into the air, the barrier around the earth that acts like a greenhouse, makes the barrier stronger and that makes the earth get more warmer. So...The more greenhouse gases we produce the warmer the earths temperture would be

What is an important source of carbon monoxide emissions that contributes to the greenhouse effect?

There is no important source of carbon monoxide that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon monoxide makes an insignificant contribution. If the question should read "Carbon dioxide" then see the related question below. ^He is right^ But the answer Novanet is looking for is Vehicles Stupid Novanet Grad Point answer: Vehicles


How is the rainforest related to the greenhouse effect?

The rainforest makes clean air "eating" the carbon dixdode ( can't spell it) and making the greenhouse less dangerous but people are destroying the rainforest this makes the greenhouse more dangerous for us.


How does greenhouse effect the weather?

How is the greenhouse effect affecting earth's energy balance?

The greenhouse effect prevents heat escaping into space. Increased greenhouse gas levels means that more heat is retained. This affects the balance by making the earth warmer.


What is the greenhouse affect?

The greenhouse effect occurs when certain gasses in the atmosphere trap infrared radiation. This effect makes the planet warmer than it would be without a greenhouse effect.The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases; the most important greenhouse gasses in Earth's atmosphere are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.Recently, the greenhouse effect has gotten stronger. Scientists believe this is because humans have been using large amounts of fossil fuels, which release carbon dioxide when they are burned. Since carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, it has caused the planet to warm over the past 150 years.


What is the word equation for the greenhouse effect?

Word Equation for greenhouse is Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water (+energy released). Since the greenhouse effect is actually a result of multiple gases the word equation includes the most popular.

What is greenhouse gas effect?

A greenhouse traps the heat inside it so that the temperature inside is hotter than the outside. Sunlight can pass through the panes of the greenhouse to warm and allow photosynthesis, yet it prevents the escape of heat from the greenhouse. Greenhouse Effect references that phenomenon. Greenhouse Gases are the gases that have the similar ability of trapping heat from sun's radiation. Gases include NOx, CO2, CO and the like. Such gases let sunshine pass through but retain and absorb the heat radiated by the earth. It makes the earth hotter due to the trapped heat (greenhouse effect).
