The atmospheric gas which is increasing the greenhouse effect is Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

A:Several gases cause the natural greenhouse effect that has maintained the temperature of the earth at a comfortable level, suitable for human existence. They include water vapour and carbon dioxide. What is known as the enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the increased concentration of carbon dioxide that results from human activity. The enhanced greenhouse effect is what is causing global average temperatures to rise, with potentially serious consequences for the environment and human society.

Greenhouse gases should not be thought of in the same way as layers of blankets, with one blanket for water vapour, one for carbon dioxide and so on, simply adding to each other. They do not work that way. For example, water vapour is only found in the lower atmosphere, and much heat is lost through convection currents that carry warmth to the upper atmosphere where it is the radiated and lost. Carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere does block some of this radiation. Even in the lower atmosphere, carbon dioxide blocks infrared radiation at different wavelengths than does water vapour. So it is the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide that has climate scientists most worried.

Which planet atmosphere is increased by the greenhouse effect?

What is this trapping of heat called?

The trapping of heat by the atmosphere of Venus is called the greenhouse effect, just as it is on Earth. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun and the temperature on the planet reaches 870 degrees Fahrenheit.


What planet is the highest temperature is our solar system?

Planet with an atmosphere, Venus. Planet without an atmosphere, Mercury (on the day side).


Does the greenhouse effect make mercury very hot?

There are no greenhouse gases on Mercury. Just a very thin atmosphere of helium and hydrogen. So it has no greenhouse effect. Its surface ranges in temperature from -270°F to 800°F (-168°C to 427°C).


Is it true that the planet's atmosphere and temperature are related?

Oh yes, the chemical composition of the atmosphere has an effect on the temperature. This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, in particular, has the capacity to retain heat. So as the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, the world gets warmer. The world is wrapped in an invisible blanket.


Which planet has no atmosphere what is the consequence of this?

Mercury has not atmosphere, resulting in extreme temperature variations.


What is necessary for a planet to have the greenhouse effect?

Gas and/or Atmosphere


Does a planet need an atmosphere to have an Greenhouse Effect?

Yes, there must be greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Without a greenhouse effect the planet would be unable to sustain life. The greenhouse effect is required for life as we know it.


How has the atmosphere changed since the origin of the earth?

since human is been on this planet our atmosphere had gotten into several changes like increase in temperature,unstable weather,etc.humans have also increased the level of carbondi-oxide in our atmosphereetc.
