CO2 is one of the greenhouse gases which contributes to global warming. Scientists consider that these gases go into the upper atmosphere, and trap the reflected sun light rays. This is a bit simplistic explanation, but I've included a link which describes global warming in more detail. I think this link, although a bit long, gives good background information and the current understanding of greenhouse gases and global warming.
What else can I help you with?
What do oxygen and carbon make?
when carbon oxidizes (mixes with oxygen) it forms carbon dioxide
How does carbon dioxide support life?
Carbon dioxide (and water) is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars (and oxygen), which may either be consumed in respiration or used as the raw material to produce other organic compounds needed for plant growth and development.
How much carbon can 22 grams of carbon dioxide make?
22 grams of carbon dioxide contains 12 grams of carbon. This amount of carbon can combine with 32 grams of oxygen to form 44 grams of carbon dioxide.
In a combustion reaction carbon is used to make reactants burn?
In a combustion reaction, a carbon-containing compound typically reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and heat. This process is an exothermic reaction that releases energy in the form of heat and light. The combustion of carbon-based fuels is a key source of energy in various industrial and domestic applications.
What is the type of gas that plants need to make food?
Plants need carbon dioxide gas to perform photosynthesis and make food.
Can you put a plant on a planet that has carbon dioxide so it can make oxygen?
Yes you can
What do plants make the help of carbon dioxide?
Respiration - make carbon in carbon dioxide
Which roots make carbon dioxide?
Roots do not make carbon dioxide.
What role do the three molecules carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor play in trapping heat in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor are greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. They absorb and re-emit infrared radiation, which warms the planet by preventing heat from escaping into space. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, helps regulate the Earth's temperature and make it habitable for life.
Where is Venus most carbon dioxide located?
Venus has a thick atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide (CO2). This carbon dioxide is found throughout the atmosphere of the planet, with the highest concentration occurring in the lower atmosphere. It is estimated to make up about 96.5% of the atmosphere.
What planet as the thick atmosphere of this planet-made mostly of carbon dioxide- absorbs solar radiation heating up and helping make the atmosphere very hot?
Earth
Do plants make carbon dioxide through photosynthesis?
Plants don't make carbon dioxide.
Name the gas found in fizzy drinks?
carbon dioxide
What gas is released by the candle to make fixed air?
carbon dioxide :p
How does a poplar tree make its food?
Photosynthesis. The leaves of the tree gather carbon dioxide and sunlight and through the process of photosynthesis turn the sunlight and carbon dioxide into glucose(sugar), oxygen and excess heat.
What four thing does a plant need to make food?
Plants need the following to make food 1-Water 2-Light 3-Soil 4-Carbon dioxide 5-Nutrients
What is the hottest planet because of a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide?
The hottest planet in our solar system is Venus, primarily due to its thick atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide. This dense atmosphere creates a strong greenhouse effect, trapping heat and raising surface temperatures to around 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 degrees Celsius). Despite being second from the Sun, Venus's extreme temperatures make it even hotter than Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun.
