Where does the carbon in CO2 go Doesn't gravity and rain clean the CO2 from the atmosphere?

No. Carbon dioxide is thoroughly mixed into the atmosphere and cannot separate from the air simply though gravity. Some carbon dioxide does go into water to become locked away in carbonate minerals, but the primary way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is through photosynthesis, a process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Currently we are producing more carbon dioxide than the plants can absorb, resulting in an increase in the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

How do you clean the atmosphere?
The atmosphere will gradually clean itself quite naturally. To allow this to happen one needs to stop polluting it.
Do windmills release carbon dioxide and methane?
No, they do not. They produce clean energy.
How much greenhouse gas is produced in making clean water?
That depends on the energy source used to clean the water. Desalination plants along the coast of Saudi Arabia operate by burning oil, so quite a bit of carbon is released, even though desalination technology has undergone substantial improvement in recent years. Sewage treatment plants in the Pacific Northwest are powered by hydroelectricity, which releases very little carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere in comparison.
Is it illegal to make a fire in your back yard?
In many places it is. Clean Air acts around the world have tightened up even bonfires. Check with your local authority to see if it is allowed. Bonfires do not add to global warming, as the carbon they release was recently removed from the atmosphere when the wood was growing.
Does Mercury have clean air?
Mercury does not have any air. It is too close to the sun to have the kind of atmosphere that we have on Earth.
Instead of continuing to burn fossil fuels what are some clean energy alternaives?
Clean energy comes from wind turbines and solar panels, and other things like wave power and tide power. Certain carbon fuels are also clean if they come from carbon that is on a short-term cycle, which includes wood and animal products. These are 'clean' because vegetation that is growing at the present moment takes carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
How does the atmosphere clean itself?
By keeping the air clean and stuff the atmosphere is cleaning nothing but air!
Does oil clean dimes?
no it doesnt

Could you breathe on the surface of the moon?
No, there is not enough gravity to hold down any significant atmosphere, and therefore no air. Also, because of the lack of atmosphere there is very little pressure, and a practical vacuum. You would die very quickly if you were on the surface of the moon without proper apparatus. Astronauts wear a backpack-type object that they breathe into with a bag full of clean oxygen. the carbon dioxide released when they breathe is cleaned out by "scrubbers" in the backpack :] As there is no atmosphere then you could not. That is one of the reasons the astronauts that landed had to wear spacesuits.
Was the primitive atmosphere polluted as your present atmosphere?
Yes. The air is never clean.
Is biomass clean?
It is not clean if clean is defined as sanitary. It is clean if considered as environmentally clean, as it produces less harmful effects thatn fossil fuels. Biomass is considered a renewable resource because of the ability of plant's to regrow. It is actually the number 1 renewable resource used in the world. Although the creation of this energy also causes pollution with-in the atmosphere from the release of the CO2 and Carbon Monoxide.
Why is the energy obtained from nuclear reactor is said to be clean?
Because unlike coal or oil, a nuclear reactor can heat the water for steam without combustion. No combustion, no smoke. No ash or burning waste. No carbon dioxide poured into the atmosphere, no carbon waste poured into the ground water.
Why do you bath a baby?
to keep it clean so it doesnt get infcted
Does cloud formation clean the atmosphere?
yes cloud formation can clean the atmosphere because when precipitation occurs such as rain it brings the stuff that is in it's way to down to the surface.
What are some advantages to hydrogen fuel?
Hydrogen is very abundant in our world and easy to acquire through the electrolysis of water. Hydrogen also burns clean; producing water as a byproduct. This is preferable to carbon emissions in our atmosphere.
How do you melt a penny in coke?
it doesnt melt, but it gets very clean!
