Why Green plants appear to release oxygen instead of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the day time?

Plants generally use chlorophyll to store solar energy to convert CO2 into O2. That being said, they cannot absorb the energy necessary to fuel the chemical reaction at night.

How does the combustion of fossil fuel lead to an increase in global temperature?
Yes, it does. There is a natural amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that the carbon cycle moves around. This is enough, with the other greenhouse gases, to keep the earth warm.Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that has been out of the picture, buried underground, for millions of years. So this release increases the levels of carbon dioxide.
Why do stars twinkie outside your atmosphere?
They don't, they only appear to "twinkle" because of air pollution on the Earth.
How many living creatures are on Mars?
not right now but there will be. because there is carbon dioxide on mars and plants will appear(Plants Breath Carbon dioxide) and then animals will appear because plants breath out oygen. and then mars will be just like earth. :)

Because of its atmosphere
Why overhead stars do not twinkle?
Stars are not twinkling really. It is because of the atmosphere of the earth due to which they appear twinkling. However if they are seen from above the atmosphere of earth then they appear stationary.
Why is carbon dioxide colorless?
Different elements and chemical substances absorb and emit different wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum. Carbon dioxide is colorless because the wavelengths that it absorbs and emits are chiefly in the infrared region of the spectrum, which is invisible to human eyes. If human eyes could detect infrared radiation, then we would not think that carbon dioxide is colorless. If our eyes were not able to detect the hazy green wavelengths emitted by chlorine gas, then we would say that chlorine gas is colorless instead of green, and it would never have gotten the name that stems from the Greek word for "green". Some objects that emit only in the nonvisible portion of the spectrum appear black instead of clear like carbon dioxide. The reason carbon dioxide doesn't appear black is that it is so rarified, being a gas, that most light passes through it instead of being absorbed.
What happens the atmosphere gets polluted?
Big holes in the ozone (atmosphere) appear. That's why global warming is happening.

Why does carbon dioxide not appear on the periodic table?
Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen. The periodic table only lists elements.
What causes a star to appear to twinkle?
Turbulent air flow in the Earth's atmosphere distorts our view, causing stars to appear to twinkle.
If the atmosphere had no single particle in it how would the sky appear during daytime?
Black
How would the sky appear in the absence of earths atmosphere?
your an imbachille. just kidding
Do meteors glow as they collide with earth's atmosphere?
Yes and No, When they are flying down toward earth the are burning in the atmosphere thus making them appear to glow.
