How the presence of the carbon dioxide in Venus' atmosphere causes the average surface temp of Venus to be higher than the average surface temp on Mercury?

Carbon dioxide is what is colloquially known as a greenhouse gas. This means that while it is transparent to the incoming sunlight in the visible spectrum, it is opaque to the infrared frequencies by which a planet loses heat at night. So an atmosphere with carbon dioxide in it is like a warm blanket, wrapped around a planet, keeping in the heat. Earth has only about a third of one percent carbon dioxide in its atmosphere, so the greenhouse effect is not that strong. Venus, on the other hand, has a much higher concentration of carbon dioxide, and a much stronger greenhouse effect.


Why are scientist so concernd by the increase of carbon dioxide?

Carbon dioxide is a gas which has high potential in regard to the green house effect. carbon dioxide can cause global warming by absorbing large amount of heat. this heat trapped is not allowed to go further in space and thus increase the overall temperature of earth. Moreover this global warming does not allow the heat to go in ozone layer thus restricting the min temp required for the formation of ozone and depleting it.


How does the temp on mars compare to the temp on earth?

Mars tempature is much greater than earth


What are some familiar compounds and elements?

Elements Metals : Iron, Magnesium, Lithium All liquids at room temp : Bromine, Mercury Gases : Oxygen, Nitrogen (two main ones in the air) Compounds Metal : Steel, Brass, Chrome, Liquids (acids in the lab) : Hydrochloric, Nitric, Sulphuric Gases : Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide


What are the melting and boiling points of carbon dioxide?

Carbon Dioxide melts at -78 degrees Centigrade. Carbon Dioxide will boil at -57 degrees C. Carbon Dioxide does not stay in liquid form unless certain parameters exist, it is a very temporary stage.

What evidence indicates that the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are caused by the combustion of fossil fuels?

the average global temp and the atmospheric co2 level has risen


Why does mercury's temp vary so much?

Mercury's temperatures varies so much because it doesn't have that much carbon dioxide as Venus in the solar system does


Is cardon dioxide the same as oxygon?

Carbon dioxide is very different. The only thing they have in common is that they are both gasses at room temp and both contain 2 oxygen atoms. CO2 : O=C=O O2: O=O


How does octane effect the environment?

Gasoline is burned in cars and power plants. while burning, the gas gives off carbon dioxide, which is weakening the atmosphere. Our atmosphere keeps some of the sun's warmth frow reaching Earth to balance the temp. If too much CO2 is released, the atmosphere will shrink, which is why the temp has risen so much these days. another thing is its non-renwable so we can't use it forever. Scientists are trying to find ways to make hydrogen cell cars but thus far, it cost A LOT of money. Concluded by: ME!;P
