CO2 provides approximately .03% of the earth's atmosphere. If you consider that the earth's atmosphere contains approximately 4.2 billion cubic kilometers - which is the "effective mass" of the atmosphere, or the mass of the entire atmosphere if measured at sea level pressure - then:
4.2 billion x .03 % = 1,260,000 cubic kilometers of CO2.
The other constant used in this equation is the "Karman Limit" of 100 miles as the upper boundary for earth's atmosphere.

Why are temeratures of earth and moon so different?
Because the moon has an incredibly small atmosphere, if it has any that is. The earth has a very big atmosphere compared to the moon. Thanks to all the CO2 in the atmosphere of earth, we are able to retain a really large amount of heat, unlike the incredible lack of any gas on the moon.
What Is a state of the atmosphere at any given time and place?
Weather.
Why does not moon have atmosphere?
Actually the Moon has a very faint atmosphere.The big difference between Earth and Moon is the respective sizes, and masses. The Moon has much less gravitational attraction; as a result, any molecules in an atmosphere can easily escape into outer space, in a relatively short time. The atmosphere "boils away", so to speak.
What is the relationship between the moon surface gravity lack of atmosphere and temperature range?
The Moon's gravity causes the lack of atmosphere (any possible atmosphere evaporates out into space in a fairly short time); and the lack of atmosphere causes the extreme temperatures.
Why moon has no atmosphere.?
That is related to the fact that the Moon has less gravity - its escape velocity is less. This allows any atmosphere to evaporate into space within a reasonable time.
How much CO2 is produced when walking?
The amount of CO2 produced when walking is very minimal. Walking does not use any fossil fuels and does not emit pollutants into the atmosphere, making it an environmentally friendly mode of transportation.
How is carbon in any form given out in the atmosphere?
It enters our atmosphere through dead animals, tress and any decaying or burning item that lived. It is believed by some that the change in our atmosphere of concentrations of CO@ may be as high as 0.007%. Some feel this number is wildly high.Oceans provide the largest sink for absorbing this CO2 from our air. Forests provide the largest generator for CO2. Man produces roughly 6% of all CO2 in our atmosphere.
How much of the earth's total water is tied up in the atmosphere?
Approximately 0.001% of Earth's total water is stored in the atmosphere as water vapor at any given time.
Is too much co2 bad for the atmosphere?
co2 creates a green house effect that warms up the Earth by trapping in heat. Yes this green house effect has increased the earths temperature little bit in the past million years or so, but in our lifetime we wont see any dramatic changes.
Why was Hawaii chosen as a site to measure carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere?
- carbon dioxide is a green house gas - determinations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are important for the study of climate changes, especially for the evolution of temperatures - determinations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are also important for the study of seas/oceans acidity (and of course for marine biology) because CO2 is easily absorbed in water

Why is the atmosphere of Venus more friendly to planets than humans?
The atmosphere of Venus could be thought of as being more friendly to plants than to humans, but such high levels of CO2 trap so much heat that the runaway greenhouse effect would burn any Earth plants to cinders in short order.

Why does limestone after it is heated the solid was cooled in a dry argon atmosphere?
Limestone, when heated produces calcium oxide (CaO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). CaO is highly reactive and will combine with CO2 from the atmosphere to reverse the above process. It will also react with any water vapour in the atmosphere to form calcium hydroxide (CaOH). These reactions can be prevented by allowing the CaO to cool in an inert environment such as that provided by argon.

Is there any atmosphere around mars?
Yes. Its atmosphere is much less dense than the Earth's, but still present.
Where is most corbon dioxide located at any one time?
The majority of carbon dioxide is found in the ocean, which absorbs about 30% of human-generated CO2 emissions. The atmosphere contains the rest of the CO2, with concentrations fluctuating due to human activities and natural processes.
