The definition of greenhouse gases are any gas with three or more atoms.

Answer:

The bond lengths between atoms in green house gases allows them to absorb heat energy more easily from sunlight. This is then shared with other atmospheric gases.

Green house effect is the hypothesis that certain gases in the high atmosphere hold heat in.


Do green house gases weaken the ozone?

Yes they do, green house gases are caused by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil. These gases then 'attack' the onzone layer which creates 'holes' in the atmosphere which allows dangerous and harmful radiation into the atmosphere.

Why are green house gases causing a problem?

Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.


Having more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will do to the average temperatures in the atmosphere and why?

Green house gases will keep more of the heat that enters the earth. It will raise the temperature


How is green house gases increased in atmosphere?

carbon- dioxide is a green house gas which when increased in the atmosphere causes global warming. it is released in the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels i.e. petrol, diesel, coal. trees use carbon dioxide and release oxygen so we should plant more trees to reduce green house gases in the atmosphere. hope that helps....


Is their any known measurements of how high green house gases rise from the surface of the earth?

Greenhouse gases can rise to different levels in the atmosphere depending on their properties and sources. For example, carbon dioxide can spread evenly throughout the atmosphere, while methane tends to be more concentrated closer to the surface. Measurements from satellites, aircraft, and ground-based stations help to track the distribution and concentration of greenhouse gases at different altitudes.

What are some causes for climatic change?

Some causes for climate change would be mostly due to human activity. After cars and factories were made this has caused lots of pollution. many green house gases have been let out into our atmosphere. green house gases are gases that get trapped in earth's atmosphere that help maintain earth's temperature. Although if there are too much green house gases in our atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, earth's temperature will begin to rise. this process is called global warming.


Why is the surface of Venus hot?

1) It's close to the sun. 2) thick atmosphere with lots of "green house" gases.
