Water vapor makes up 75% of all forcing and roughly 5% of our atmosphere.

Carbon Dioxide makes up 5% to 20% of all forcing and 0.038% of our atmosphere.

The remaining gases are Methane, Ozone and virtually any other gas made up of three or more atoms. They make up the difference.

How many types of green house gas are there?

There are seven main types of greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), fluorinated gases, water vapor, ozone, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). They all contribute to trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.


Does garbage produce green house gases?

Yes, bio-degrading garbage produces methane, a dangerous greenhouse gas. Many landfills around the world are trying to capture this methane and use it to generate electricity. Not many are doing it successfully. Pig farms are trying to do the same with their large amounts of animal waste.


Are green house gases more or less problem than carbon dioxide?

Greenhouse gases collectively contribute to the greenhouse effect, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. While carbon dioxide is a significant greenhouse gas, other gases like methane and nitrous oxide also play a role in global warming. Each greenhouse gas has a different global warming potential, so it's important to consider all greenhouse gases when addressing climate change.


What causes the green house effect to occur?

The greenhouse effect causes the earth to keep naturally warm. This has gone on for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect happens because humans started burning fossil fuel and cutting down trees. This meant that more carbon dioxide started building up in the atmosphere, too much for the natural carbon cycle to deal with. This extra build up of greenhouse gas is causing global warming.


What is mixture of many gases known as?

A mixture of many gases is commonly known as air. Air is composed of different gases such as nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and others in varying proportions.

What are some causes for climatic change?

Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.

How have some people in Japan had a negative effect on the country?

Japan is effected by how many people live there. its people are using to many gases which has let off to many Green House Gases. The Green House Gases have gone up into the Ozone layer and is slowly eating away at the layer which is letting in UV radiation. Japan and China are two of the bestest countries and are the most unclean and unsafe countries you could live in.Japan has alot of negative effect.


What will happen in case of adding more and more green house gases to atmosphere?

The climate will tend to get warmer. This will be good for some and bad for (many) others.


Are green house gases more or less than carbon dioxide?

Carbon Dioxide IS a 'greenhouse gas' ! There are still too many coal-fired power stations that are releasing tons of CO2 into the atmosphere !


How many known gases are there?

There are over 50 known gases, including common gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, as well as more rare gases like xenon and krypton. These gases can exist in various forms, such as elemental gases, compound gases, and noble gases, each with its own unique properties and uses.
