There are many gases which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Some are have a more potent effect than others. The following are considered to be greenhouse gases, the number after the name indicates the equivalent greenhouse gas effect compared to carbon dioxide (the principle man made greenhouse gas:
Water vapour (H2O) = ?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 1
Methane (CH4) = 21
Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 298
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) = 22,200
Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC's) = 1000 to 9000
Notes:
1. Water vapor is an odd one in the list as it is naturally occurring. It may be responsible for more than 30% of the greenhouse effect
2. CFC's include many different compounds.
What else can I help you with?
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
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.
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
Why would you die with out greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases are essential for trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, which helps to keep the planet warm enough to support life. Without greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, the Earth would be much colder and uninhabitable for humans and many other species. However, the presence of too many greenhouse gases can lead to global warming and climate change, which can also have negative impacts on life on Earth.
Name two greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What gases contribute to the depletion of the ozone layer?
Gases are many that can contribute to ozone. Greenhouse gases to be mentioned here.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
What are greenhouse?
Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs
What releases harmful greenhouse gases?
Many things, like:petrolpesticidescarsbatteriesfossil fuels
What are the air pollutants that affects your atmosphere?
there are many pollutants. These are greenhouse gases.
