What is the primary gas in the atmosphere responsible for the greenhouse effect?
Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
What percentage does co2 contribute to green house gases?
The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Although not as potent as other greenhouse gases pound for pound, by sheer volume water vapor is the key greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is the second largest (by volume) greenhouse gas. Methane and nitrous oxide complete the four primary greenhouse gases, but there are only trace amounts of these in our atmosphere. Since water vapor is about 4% of the atmosphere, and CO2 concentrations are 400 parts per million, 0.04/0.0004 = 1%. In other words, CO2 is roughly 1% of the greenhouse gas.
Is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which gas traps heat into the atmosphere?
Water vapour and carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere
What if you did not have 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.
Which greenhouse gas is the primary cause of ozone destruction in the upper atmosphere?
Carbon dixoide is the major gas. It depletes the ozone.
What is the primary gas in the atmosphere responsible for the greenhouse effect?
Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
What does CH4 do in the atmosphere?
It is a powerful greenhouse gas.
What is the greenhouse gas in the photosynthesis reaction?
The greenhouse gas absorbed from the atmosphere by the photosynthesis reaction is carbon dioxide (CO2).
What is necessary for a planet to have the greenhouse effect?
Gas and/or Atmosphere
What does Methane (CH4) in the atmosphere do?
It is a powerful greenhouse gas.
How do you know whether a gas is greenhouse gas i.e how a greenhouse gas is different from non-greenhouse gas?
A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.
What gas in the Earth atmosphere is classified as Greenhouse Gas?
CO2, H2O, methane.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What is a greenhouse gas that heats the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2).

What greenhouse gas is not currently increasing?
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere that is not increasing as a result of human activity, or any other reason.
