Four important greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O). These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.

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 the connection between the cutting of Brazilian rainforest and greenhouse efffect?

The rain-forests are important to the environment because they filter gases, such as carbon and methane, common greenhouse gases, in the atmosphere. Without them, there is nothing to stop the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases then trap more heat, adding to global warming. THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!


What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?

The two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Both of these gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and contribute to global warming and climate change.


What effect would an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have on earths overall temperature?

Of course, greenhouse gases keep the Earth from being one large popsicle. The newest studies of the atmosphere indicate that the atmosphere is pretty stable, now. The reason is that nearly all of the greenhouse gases are water vapor mostly evaporated from the oceans.


How would earths average temperature be different if there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all.?

If there were no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, Earth's average temperature would be significantly colder. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap heat in the atmosphere, helping to keep the planet warm. Without them, Earth's surface would not retain as much heat from the sun, resulting in much lower temperatures.


What is a good sentence with the word greenhouse effect in it?

The greenhouse effect is when gases get trapped inside the earths atmosphere and cannot get out so the sun heats them up and the earth gets warmer. just like a greenhouse


What contains the greenhouse gases?

Our Atmosphere.


What heats earths atmosphere?

The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
