Global Warming
The world is like a greenhouse. Carbon dioxide and gases act like the glass. The gases cover the earth and stops some heat from getting back out into space which causes the world to heat up.
Carbon dioxide exists in various states on Earth depending on temperature and pressure. At normal conditions, it is a gas. At very low temperatures and high pressures, it can exist as a solid (dry ice) or as a liquid.
The gaseous blanket that covers the Earth is the atmosphere. It is composed of various gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, that protect and regulate the Earth's temperature.
The presence of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere acts as a greenhouse gas, trapping heat and leading to an increase in the Earth's temperature. This phenomenon is known as global warming and is contributing to climate change by causing shifts in weather patterns and rising sea levels.
The increase in temperature due to elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface.
The term for an abnormally rapid rise in Earth's average temperature caused by excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is global warming.
The Earth's temperature is partly controlled by carbon through the greenhouse effect, where carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. When solar radiation reaches the Earth, some of it is absorbed, and the rest is reflected back into space. CO2 absorbs and re-emits some of this outgoing radiation, effectively warming the atmosphere. Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide can enhance this effect, leading to global warming and climate change.

Carbon in the atmosphere appears mainly as carbon dioxide CO2. It is called a greenhouse gas because it acts like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the Sun's heat. That happens because it lets the short-wavelength radiant heat through as it arrives from the Sun, but stops heat radiated from the Earth at a lower temperature, at longer wavelengths, from escaping into space.

Yes, carbon dioxide absorbs heat and moderates the temperature. That is why it is one of a important gas on the Earth
because the amounts of earth is
absorbing heat energy
The phenomenon is called global warming, which is the gradual increase in Earth's atmospheric temperature due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Venus has a surface temperature that is closest to Earth's temperature, with an average of about 864 degrees Fahrenheit (462 degrees Celsius) due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide which creates a greenhouse effect.
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
the lithosphere
Yes, partly. The earth is globally warming because of the build up of greenhouse gases, mostly carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere.Deforestation, the destruction of forests, means the trees no longer reove carbon dioxide from the air.Man's energy consumption is fuelled by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. This burning releases carbon dioxide.Transport and industry also burn oil.All these things cause the earth's rising temperature.
