The four main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases (such as hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride).

What are the 4 main gasses in the atmosphere and the percentage of each?

The four main gases in Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), argon (0.9%), and carbon dioxide (0.04%). These gases make up the majority of the atmosphere and are essential for supporting life on Earth.


What are the 4 gases found in the atmosphere?

There are more than four gases in air but the four most abundant are nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide. There are others in smaller quantities, e.g. hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, methane.


What is the atmosphere mostly made from?

The atmosphere is made up of 4 main and 4 minor layers. The 4 main layers are:The TroposphereThe StratosphereThe MesosphereThe ThermosphereThe 4 minor layers are:The Ozonosphere ( in the Stratosphere)The Ionosphere (the lower portion of the Thermosphere)The Exosphere (the upper portion of the Thermosphere)The MagnetosphereEarth's atmosphere is made up of:Nitrogen (78%)Oxygen (21%)Dust particles (clouds)Water vaporOther elements(1%)


Without greenhouse gases would the Earth's surface be frozen over?

Yes-- without the Green House Effect, Earth's avg temperature would be 60 degrees F cooler, and our oceans would be frozen. You would freeze. The earth would be pretty well frozen over. The average surface temperature would be about -4 degrees Fahrenheit if there were no greenhouse effect.


What percentage does co2 contribute to green house gases?

The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor. Although not as potent as other greenhouse gases pound for pound, by sheer volume water vapor is the key greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is the second largest (by volume) greenhouse gas. Methane and nitrous oxide complete the four primary greenhouse gases, but there are only trace amounts of these in our atmosphere. Since water vapor is about 4% of the atmosphere, and CO2 concentrations are 400 parts per million, 0.04/0.0004 = 1%. In other words, CO2 is roughly 1% of the greenhouse gas.
