After you breathe air IN, your body uses some (but not all) of the oxygen in it.
A lot of that oxygen that your body uses get converted to carbon dioxide, and
it's added to the air that you breathe out. So your exhaled air has a greater
concentration of carbon dioxide than fresh air has.

Is carbon dioxide invisible?
here is a way to find out... breath in, then breath out... do you see anything?... no, the stuff you breath out is carbon dioxide.So the answer is yes... but when you can see your breath sometimes (usually in winter), that is because your breath is warm and the air is cold.

How does burning fossil fuel affect the rate of weathering?
Burning fossil fuels affect the rate of weathering by releasing carbon dioxide into the air, polluting theenvironment. As more carbon dioxide is released into the air, more carbonation can occur, creating more acids to weather the area's rocks.
Which gas do you add more to the air when you breath?
Carbon dioxide.
Do lions breath in carbon dioxide?
As there is a low level of carbon dioxide in the air that animals (and people) breath, yes every breath taken in breaths in some carbon dioxide.But as carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred to the air in the lungs, increasing the level of carbon dioxide in that air, when they breath out both the carbon dioxide breathed in and the additional carbon dioxide from the blood are breathed out. Thus in balance more carbon dioxide is breathed out than is breathed in.
Why do you breath out more carbon dioxide then you breath in?
You produce carbon dioxide through cellular respiration when you breath in air. Cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide from converting oxygen into it through a long process and also produces energy.
How does plants get the carbon dioxide?
Plants get carbon dioxide from the air we exhale. We breath out carbon dioxide and plants give us oxygen. So when we breath oxygen the air that we exhale is carbon dioxide that goes to plants.
