Why are water vapor and aerosols important constituents in our atmosphere?

∙ 13y ago
Oxygen is used for breathing (humans) without it our lungs wouldn't respire, water vapour is included in the water cycle so if we didn't have it we wouldn't have water at all, carbon dioxide is needed because it is the main source that is needed for photosynthesis and provides us with oxygen as the equation for photosynthesis is: Carbon Dioxide + Water= glucose+oxygen
Hope dat helped :)

∙ 7y agoThey are both gases whose molecules contain 3 atoms. This means that they can absorb heat. They are greenhouse gases.
They both absorb energy from the earth's surface, thereby heating the atmosphere.

∙ 11y agoThey both absorb heat rising fom the earth's surface (infrared radiation) because they are greenhouse gases. So they are making the atmosphere warmer. This is called the greenhouse effect, and the extra carbon dioxide (CO2) we are emitting (by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas)) is causing global warming.

What are the most important source for the moisture or water vapor of the atmosphere?
oceans
Why is water vapor important to the atmosphere?
Water vapour forms clouds that bring rain.
What makes up from zero to four percent of the atmosphere?
You must be fishing for "water vapor". It varies a lot (the 'humidity'),but can be up to (not 'at least') about 4%.All other constituents of normal atmosphere are either much more ormuch less than than 4% .
What is the amount of water in the atmosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere varies from place to place. Humidity is the term used to describe the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
What do you call the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere?
Relative humidity the exact amount of water vapor in the atmosphere (specific humidity)
What particles that water vapor clings to?
You think probable to the aerosols from the atmosphere which act as nucleation centers.
Which gas is most important for understanding atmosphere processes?
Water Vapor
What are the most important source for the moisture or water vapor of the atmosphere?
oceans
Why is water vapor important to the atmosphere?

How does the amount of water vapor in the air affect evaporation?
The evaporation is less important if the atmosphere is humid.
What is the water atmosphere?
vapor

What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)
Which temperature zone of the earths atmosphere contains the most vapor?
The Troposhere has the most water vapor then any other layer in the atmosphere.
What processes return water vapor to the atmosphere?
The main processes that return water vapor to the atmosphere are evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when liquid water changes into water vapor from sources such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Transpiration is the process through which plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere. Both of these processes contribute to the water cycle by replenishing the atmosphere with water vapor.
