Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases (GHG) are any gas or types of gases that trap, absorb and emit heat.
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
if you're asking why are the collective gases that are damaging the atmosphere called greenhouse gases the answer iswhen sun rays enter the earth to warm it up, when they try to leave the greenhouse gases reflect them back again stopping them from leavingthe earth is slowly heating up from this (global warming) and so people blame the greenhouse gases (which mainly humans are causing)we have called them greenhouse gases because the process of blocking the sun rays from leaving is the same technique that greenhouses use.
Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
"Greenhouse gas" is just a catchy term that means "traps heat." Due to the way the atmosphere is layered, some gases trap more heat than others; CO being about the weakest "greenhouse gas."
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
No, Ammonia is not considered a greenhouse gas.
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, not nitrogen.
Ozone is also a greenhouse gas by nature. The only difference being that greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.
