No, it isn't. Water vapour, though, is a greenhouse gas.
To be greenhouse gas the molecule must have a strong absorbence in the IR frequencies of light. Neither oxygen nor nitrogen (the major gases in the atmosphere) have this characteristic.
To be a greenhouse gas the molecule must have at least three atoms. Water vapor is the most prevalent greenhouse gas in every measurable way. Carbon dioxide comes in a distant second with 0.04% of the atmosphere and about 5% of all warming. The rest of the gases that are involved are even more removed from the major gases in terms of warming and concentrations.
Oxygen has only two atoms (O2). A greenhouse gas must have three atoms or more so they can capture the infrared radiation and stop it leaving the atmosphere. So gases like oxygen and hydrogen (H), for example are not greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Methane (CH4) are greenhouse gas.
Generally, gases need three or more atoms to work as a greenhouse gas, that is, to warm up when struck by infrared radiation (from the surface of the earth). So Oxygen (O2) is not a greenhouse gas.
Absolutely! The depletion of ozone in the Antarctic is why science experts claim that the ice is not melting in the area.
Ozone, any virtually all gases with three or more atoms is a greenhouse gas.
no. Carbon dioxide is, as is water vapor. Greenhouse gases tend to be gases that have at least three atoms.
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. It acts like a pollutant at the surface level of the earth.
O2 is oxygen, so no. it isn't.
Nitrous Oxide is the third greenhouse gas.........
No, Ammonia is not considered a greenhouse gas.
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.
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that contains only hydrogen and oxygen.
CO2 and H2O
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
Nitrous Oxide is the third greenhouse gas.........
No, Ammonia is not considered a greenhouse gas.
Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
O2 GAS is a short form of oxygen
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.
no, dihydrogen (H2) is not however dihydrogen monoxide is (H2O), Water vapor is the premiere greenhouse gas, it comprises over half of all the greenhouse gas found on our planet.
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.
