Greenhouse gases are gases that trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. The main characteristics that determine if a gas is a greenhouse gas include its ability to absorb and emit infrared radiation, its concentration in the atmosphere, and its longevity in the atmosphere. These gases contribute to the greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming and climate change.
Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere but does not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect.
Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.
Carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas that absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, contributing to the warming of the planet known as the greenhouse effect.
Yes - and no. Carbon Dioxide occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It's a waste product of respiration. However - it's also a waste product of many industrial processes. Since humans are responsible for ALL industrial processes - WE are the ones causing a build-up of greenhouse gasses !
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas. It also causes global warming.

Water vapor is a common greenhouse gas that contains only hydrogen and oxygen.
Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere but does not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect.
The chemical name of a greenhouse gas that contains carbon and oxygen is carbon dioxide.
Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.
The common greenhouse gas containing only hydrogen and oxygen is water vapor, with the chemical formula H2O.
Carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas that absorbs and re-emits infrared radiation, contributing to the warming of the planet known as the greenhouse effect.
The normal greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm enough for life is caused largely by water vapour, with a small effect from carbon dioxide and methane.However, the greenhouse gas responsible for the present enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, yes.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
