What else can I help you with?
Does earth have more greenhouse gases than mercury?
Yes. Mercury barely has an atmosphere at all.
By-product of wind energy?
Wind energy is a very clean source of energy and there is no by product. It does not produce any harmful greenhouse gases. Wind power consumes no fuel.
How people increase the concentration of greenhouse gases in atmosphere?
People, we, are increasing the concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by:Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).Cattle rearing, rice paddy farming, melting tundra and lakes, which all release methane (CH4).
What happens to a car that has been sitting in the sun on a hot day with all its windows rolled up and how does this relate to global warming?
It's rather like a glasshouse, where the sun's heat comes through the glass but doesn't escape so easily.Similarly some of the sun's heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere by the increase in greenhouse gases. This is known as the greenhouse effect.
Why plants are good for the environment and how do they prevent global warming?
Plants are good for the environment for many reasons. The fact that the prevent global warming is just one of them. Other reasons include giving animals homes and food. Plants prevent global warming because they use Carbon Dioxide to make energy for themselves. Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which means that it helps trap heat from the Sun in the Earth. This is a good thing, since Earth would be very cold if there were no greenhouse gases, but global warming is caused by there being too many greenhouse gases, which make it too hard for the Earth to cool off naturally. Plants help prevent global warming because they take Carbon Dioxide out of the air.
How does nuclear energy help mars?
It does not produce greenhouse gases, as fossil fuels do.
What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
What is needed for a greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphereSunlight radiating back from the earth towards spaceThe greenhouse gases catching some of this light and turning it into heat
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
Is earth the only place in your solar system where greenhouse gases affect the temperature?
Greenhouse gases also affect the temperature on other planets in our solar system, such as Venus and Mars. Venus experiences an extreme greenhouse effect, which has led to its surface temperature being much hotter than Mercury, despite being further from the Sun. Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, but its greenhouse effect is weaker compared to Earth.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
