How water vapour as a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Water vapour is a greenhouse gas that traps heat rising from the surface of the earth. In doing so it contributes to the natural greenhouse effect.
Is ozone a greenhouse gas?
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
What is necessary for a planet to have a greenhouse effect?
Gas
How does the greenhouse effect pollute your ozone layer?
It doesn't. Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
Which single gas has the greatest impact globally on the enhanced greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the gas that is having the greatest impact on the enhanced greenhouse effect.
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 major greenhouse gas is not contributing to the current increase in the greenhouse effect?
Water (vapor).
What is necessary for a planet to have the greenhouse effect?
Gas and/or Atmosphere
Is the main atmospheric gas responsible for the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide?
The normal greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm enough for life is caused largely by water vapour, with a small effect from carbon dioxide and methane.However, the greenhouse gas responsible for the present enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, yes.
Is natural gas the major cause of the greenhouse effect?
In terms of greenhouse effect, natural gas is more benign than coal or oil, because it provides a greater heating effect per unit of carbon dioxide produced. It is therefore not the major cause of the greenhouse effect.
How are ozone and greenhouse alike?
Ozone is a greenhouse gas. However there is little connection between the greenhouse effect and the ozone layer.
What is a disadvantage of greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases have kept the planet comfortably warm for millions of years. This has been an advantage.Now, however, there is an excess of greenhouse gases (mostly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels). This extra greenhouse gas is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. This is a serious disadvantage!
