Is smoke a greenhouse gas

Answer 1

Smoke isn't a gas in itself - it's a collection of gases. The composition of smoke depends on what exactly you are burning. Wood smoke, for example, contains a lot of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas.

Most smoke contains carbon dioxide, as well as other greenhouse gases such as nitrogen.

Answer 2

Smoke itself is not a greenhouse gas, but it can contain particles and gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect when released into the atmosphere. Burning of certain materials like fossil fuels or biomass can release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide along with smoke.
