Why do nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect because they are not greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor have properties that enable them to absorb and emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen, although abundant in our atmosphere, do not have the same ability to trap heat in the same way.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What are the two most common greenhouse gases?
the two major gases that cause greenhouse gases are methane and carbon dioxideco2, methene, evaporates
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
What gases cause global warming and how?
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
Does all planets have the greenhouse effect?
The only planet that "emits" light is the Earth, from all of the artificial lamps here. Green lights would be the color of mercury vapor streetlamps, which are the bane of astronomers (light pollution) and women everywhere (because the greenish light on makeup looks ghastly).
What other planets have greenhouse gases?
Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.
Why do nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect because they are not greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor have properties that enable them to absorb and emit infrared radiation, trapping heat in the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen, although abundant in our atmosphere, do not have the same ability to trap heat in the same way.
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Why specific gases cause greenhouse effect?
There are many gases that cause "greenhouse effects". Water Vapour Carbon dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide Ozone Chloroflourocarbons (CFC's) are just a few.
What are the infrared dangers?
The danger is, if the infrared is trapped by atmospheric gases it can cause greenhouse effect.
Removal of important forests such as these in brazil worzens the greenhouse effect why?
Forests absorb greenhouse gases. They are the ones that cause ozone depletion.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What is the pollutant that is thought to cause the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas, though methane and other gases are also important.
What are the two most common greenhouse gases?
the two major gases that cause greenhouse gases are methane and carbon dioxideco2, methene, evaporates
