What absorbs infra red?
black-color or black-hole. Greenhouse gases
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What molecules destroy the ozone besides CFC's?
The molecules of greenhouse gases destroy ozone. Carbon dioxide is an example.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.

Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What molecules destroy the ozone besides CFC's?
The molecules of greenhouse gases destroy ozone. Carbon dioxide is an example.
How would greenhouse gases retain energy in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What do greenhouse gases reflect?
Greenhouse gases don't reflect anything. They absorb energy from incoming sunlight and warm up. The warm gas molecules then share the heat with all other molecules in the atmosphere. Many people think there is a layer of greenhouse gas "up there" that reflects the heat back to Earth. This is not the case, The gases are mixed all through the atmosphere, not concentrated in a layer.
When the sun's rays are trapped by gases causing a rise in temperature this is known as what?
That is known as the greenhouse effect.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
