atmospheric carbon dioxide allow infrared (heat) waves from the sun to come down to earth and warm whatever they hit. The warm objects on earth release some different wavelengths which cannot escape from the atmosphere, but are trapped and reflected back to earth, keeping more heat in causing global warming. Muchlike the glass/plastic roof of a greenhouse lets in light and solar heat and keeps it in so the plants in the greenhouse will heat up and grow.
What else can I help you with?
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).
Which gas is produced as a waste product by combustion and by respiration and is also a 'greenhouse gas'?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas produced as a waste product by combustion and respiration. It is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
What is exclusively a natural source of carbon dioxide?
Volcanoes are an exclusively natural source of carbon dioxide, releasing the gas during eruptions. This carbon dioxide can contribute to the greenhouse effect and affects the Earth's climate.
Burning coal produces the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide is this a false statement about the use of coal?
No, this is true. Coal is a fossil fuel which holds carbon which has been trapped underground for millions of years. When it is burnt the carbon dioxide is released where it adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

How is cabron dixiode related to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide helps the greenhouse in one way. Plants in the greenhouse needs carbon dioxide to grow.
What is carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas. It also causes global warming.
Does carbon dioxide increase the greenhouse effect?
Yes, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to the greenhouse effect. Excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat from the Earth's surface, leading to a warming effect known as global warming.
Is the main atmospheric gas responsible for the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide?
The normal greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm enough for life is caused largely by water vapour, with a small effect from carbon dioxide and methane.However, the greenhouse gas responsible for the present enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, yes.
Does the greenhouse effect increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?
No. The greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Extra carbon dioxide added to it is causing global warming.
What environmental issue is related to the greenhouse effect?
Global Warming... Global Warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide being trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. AKA the greenhouse effect.
How might the photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect?
Photosynthetic organisms counter the greenhouse effect. This is because plants use carbon dioxide and turns it into oxygen instead. Carbon dioxide is causing the greenhouse effect.
How do trees help slow down greenhouse effect?
Trees help to slow down greenhouse effect as they absorb carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is a major green house gas and can cause greenhouse effect.
Why is it important for 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.
In the greenhouse effect what absorbs earth heat?
carbon dioxide
Does carbon dioxide cause the greenhouse effect on the world?
Yes. Carbon dioxide, along with water vapour and other greenhouse gases hold heat in the atmosphere. This greenhouse effect means that the earth is warm enough for life.
What do plants do to lessen the greenhouse effect?
Plants help lessen the greenhouse effect by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. They store this carbon in their biomass, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which helps to balance the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
