Does the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide help or harm the earth?
Both. Carbon dioxide helps to keep the earth warm enough for life. This is called the greenhouse effect. Too much carbon dioxide, which is happening now, is making the earth too warm and causing global warming, which then is causing climate change.
Water and carbon dioxide are they the two largest contributors to Earth's greenhouse effect and are largely responsible for Earth's climate?
Yes. Water Vapor accounts for as much as 75% of the greenhouse effect. Carbon Dioxide accounts for 5 to 25% of the rest.
Do venus and earth have the same amount of carbon dioxide?
No, Venus has far more carbon dioxide. Earth's atmosphere is about .04% carbon dioxide. By contrast, Venus has an atmosphere that is 96% carbon dioxide and 93 times thicker than earth's. This means that Venus' atmosphere contains over 200,000 times more CO2 than earth's atmosphere does.
How did the formation of seas and oceans change the amount of carbon dioxide?
The Earth's oceans contain a huge amount of carbon dioxide in the form of bicarbonate and carbonate ions - much more than the amount in the atmosphere.
How much carbon dioxide is in root beer?
6 percent of root beer is carbon dioxide
What do oceans on earth absorbed much of?
carbon dioxide
Is there more nitrogen or carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere?
There is much more nitrogen in earth's atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Nitrogen forms about 79%, while carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04%.
What happens when the atmosphere has a higher percentage of carbon dioxide and lower oxygen?
The Earth will become hotter as carbon dioxide traps heat to keep the Earth warm. But too much carbon dioxide will cause the Earth to be more warm and that lead to global warming.
Why is it important for the earth to have some carbon dioxide in its atmosphere?
The natural greenhouse effect (helped by carbon dioxide) keeps the earth warm.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (from too much carbon dioxide) is causing global warming.

How much hotter is the earth since the levels of carbon dioxide went up?
the earth is much hotter like 100%
What would have happened if there was no life on earth?
Not a lot! Early life transformed the atmosphere; removing much of the carbon dioxide, so without life Earth would probably have an atmosphere and environment like Venus.

What is the point of carbon dioxide on earth?
Green plants use carbon dioxide as part of the process of photosynthesis. In addition, while we are presently concerned that too much carbon dioxide is resulting in too much greenhouse effect and global warming, it is equally true that too little carbon dioxide would result in global cooling. A certain amount of carbon dioxide is helpful in maintaining the kind of temperature range that we want.
Does Mars have am atmosphere?
Yes, but it is much thinner than Earth's atmosphere, and has considerably more carbon dioxide.
How much CO2 is lost to space every year?
Very little. Carbon dioxide is ingested by plants, which require it. When we eat the plants, some of the carbon is exhaled as CO2. The Earth is essentially a closed system; the carbon that is here on Earth will remain here on Earth. Carbon dioxide is a natural part of our atmosphere, and is present in only trace amounts.
How much percent of carbon dioxide have in Sprite?
Sprite has 6% of carbon dioxide
