The greenhouse gases are most active in the upper troposphere region. It is the region where gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapour are present. These trap most of the heat radiated by the earth and thus cause global warming.

In which atmosphere does most of the greenhouse effect occur?

Most of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere.


In which atmosphere layer does most of the greenhouse affect occur?

The majority of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere. This is where greenhouse gases trap heat radiating from the Earth's surface, leading to a warming effect that helps maintain temperatures conducive to life on Earth.


Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?

In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.


Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?

The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.


Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?

The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.


When does the greenhouse effect occur?

Carbon emissions are trapped beneath the o-zone layer.


Could the greenhouse effect occur on other planets?

The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas. Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend. Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.


Which layer in the atmosphere traps all the heat?

The layer that traps most of the heat in the Earth's atmosphere is the troposphere. This is where most weather events occur and where the majority of Earth's clouds and water vapor are found, allowing it to retain heat through the greenhouse effect.


When did the enhanced greenhouse effect occur?

When we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we released billions of tones of EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This changed the natural greenhouse effect to an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.


In which layer of the atmosphere does our weather occur?

troposphere


Where does the greenhouse effect occur?

The greenhouse effect occurs in the Earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane trap heat from the sun, leading to warming of the Earth's surface. This process is essential for maintaining the planet's temperature suitable for life.


Layer of atmosphere where weather clouds and smog Occur?

The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere where weather, clouds, and smog occur. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere and contains approximately 75% of the atmosphere's mass. Weather phenomena like cloud formation, precipitation, and atmospheric mixing primarily occur in the troposphere.
