CO2 resonance contributes to the Earth's greenhouse effect by absorbing and trapping heat energy in the atmosphere. When sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, some of the energy is absorbed and re-emitted as infrared radiation. CO2 molecules in the atmosphere can absorb this infrared radiation due to their resonance properties, which causes them to vibrate and release heat energy back towards the Earth's surface. This process helps to keep the Earth warm and maintain a stable climate.

What makes a greenhouse gas and how does it contribute to the Earth's climate system?

Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun, causing the Earth's surface to warm. This warming effect is known as the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor. When these gases accumulate in the atmosphere, they enhance the natural greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.


How do greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation and contribute to the Earth's warming?

Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface. This absorption traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.


Increase in resonance structure leads to increase in stabilitywhy?

Increasing the number of resonance structures increases the delocalization of electrons, spreading the positive and negative charges over a larger area. This increased delocalization results in lower overall energy and increased stability of the molecule.


What gas increases earths temperature?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary gas responsible for increasing Earth's temperature through the greenhouse effect. CO2, along with other greenhouse gases, trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


What gas absorbs infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect?

The gas that absorbs infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2).

Is there pictures of the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is merely a process of trapping carbon inside the earths atmosphere causing the earth to heat up. You can't take a picture of air can you?


Do cooking fuels contribute to the green house effect?

The only fuels that contribute to the greenhouse effect are fossil fuels. So, using coal, coke, petroleum oil, gas or peat for cooking does contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, but using wood, biofuels and other renewable resources does not.

How do every day people contribute to the greenhouse effect?

Everyday people contribute to the greenhouse effect by activities such as burning fossil fuels for transportation and energy, deforestation, consumption of meat from livestock, and overuse of energy in households. These actions release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, trapping heat and contributing to global warming.
