Most energy (electricity and transport) comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). When fossil fuels burn, they emit carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere.
So if you save energy, then not so much fossil fuel is burnt and less greenhouse gases go into the air.
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap solar energy in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming and climate change.
Greenhouse gases trap heat and energy in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This process creates a "greenhouse effect" that warms the planet.
Solar radiation enters the Earth's atmosphere. Some of the solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and warms it. The Earth's surface radiates heat energy back towards the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap some of this heat energy in the atmosphere, leading to a warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat energy from the sun. They prevent some of this heat from escaping back into space, contributing to the Earth's warming and the greenhouse effect.
In the atmosphere

Carbon in the atmosphere traps it like in a greenhouse.
No. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat, and heat is energy, but we have no way of using this energy for ourselves as fuel. This extra energy in the atmosphere will be expended in more severe weather, like storms and cyclones.
The earth's atmosphere is affected by solar energy because the energy creates a greenhouse effect. When the radiation of the sun makes the earth too warm, there will be too much greenhouse gas that gets trapped in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases trap heat and energy in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This process creates a "greenhouse effect" that warms the planet.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
Conserving energy means using less energy to accomplish the same tasks, thus reducing the overall energy consumption. This can be done by implementing energy-efficient practices and technologies, such as turning off lights when not in use or using energy-efficient appliances. Conserving energy helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower utility costs.
Greenhouse gases.
Yes, conserving wind energy is necessary as it is a renewable and clean source of energy. By using efficient technology and methods to generate and utilize wind energy, we can reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions, leading to a more sustainable future.
A greenhouse gas primarily transfers infrared energy to nitrogen and oxygen. This energy is absorbed and re-emitted by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, contributing to the Earth's greenhouse effect and warming the planet.
