  • No, greenhouse gases are useful for keeping the earth warm. In fact, they have kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.
  • When levels of greenhouse gas increase in the atmosphere, then they are considered harmful, as they trap extra heat that is causing global warming.

Are all CFCs greenhouse gasses?

No, not all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are greenhouse gases. While CFCs do contribute to ozone layer depletion and are potent greenhouse gases, some CFCs like CFC-12 primarily affect the ozone layer and have a negligible impact on global warming.


Why are green house gases considered pollution?

Greenhouse gases are not necessarily pollution. In fact, the main greenhouse gases, water vapour and carbon dioxide are certainly not pollutants. On the other hand, ozone is a greenhouse gas and a pollutant, because it can be injurious to human health. Although not a pollutant in the normal sense, increased atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide do lead to global warming, which does have a harmful impact on our environment.


What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.


Why is a greenhouse gas considered a greenhouse gas?

if you're asking why are the collective gases that are damaging the atmosphere called greenhouse gases the answer iswhen sun rays enter the earth to warm it up, when they try to leave the greenhouse gases reflect them back again stopping them from leavingthe earth is slowly heating up from this (global warming) and so people blame the greenhouse gases (which mainly humans are causing)we have called them greenhouse gases because the process of blocking the sun rays from leaving is the same technique that greenhouses use.


Is ammonia NH3 a greenhouse gas?

Yes, ammonia (NH3) is considered a greenhouse gas. While it is less potent than gases like carbon dioxide or methane, it can still contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming when present in the atmosphere.

Why are nitrogen and oxygen not considered greenhouse gases?

Nitrogen and oxygen are not considered greenhouse gases because they do not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane have this ability, leading to the greenhouse effect and global warming.


What countries are the top producers of harmful greenhouse gases?

China has recently become the biggest annualproducer of greenhouse gases. The US remains the leader in overall amounts produced.


What in greenhouse gases are bad for the ozone?

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are greenhouse gases that are harmful to the ozone layer. When released into the atmosphere, they break down ozone molecules and contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer, leading to increased exposure to harmful UV radiation.


Is chlorine - Cl2 - a greenhouse gas?

Chlorine (Cl2) is not considered a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases are substances that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Chlorine is not one of these gases.

What help is greenhouse gases for your atmosphere?

No help. Greenhouse gases break down the ozone layer and allow harmful UV rays to hit the earth. The planet is getting hotter and we are seeing the results of it now.


Is ozone a greenhouse gas?

Yes, ozone is considered a greenhouse gas. While ozone in the stratosphere protects us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, at ground level it can contribute to warming the Earth's surface as a greenhouse gas.
