What are natural greenhouse gases and how they benefit us?
The natural greenhouse gases are the same as the ones causing global warming, water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, with one or two others. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life, and has done for millions of years.
Why is carbon monoxide called a greenhouse gas?
Carbon monoxide is not usually called a greenhouse gas. It does absorb infrared radiation and trap heat in the atmosphere, which is the definition of a greenhouse gas, but carbon monoxide is very reactive and soluble, so its molecules do not remain in the atmosphere for any significant time.Carbon Dioxide is a serious greenhouse gas, not Carbon Monoxide.
What effect does the greenhouse effect have on light entering and leaving the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases (water, carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) allow light to enter the earth's atmosphere. It comes in as solar radiation and about half of it is absorbed by the earth's surface. This radiation is converted to heat energy, which in turn, radiates infrared (longwave) radiation back out into space. Much of this infrared radiation is captured by the greenhouse gases in the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere). The warmed greenhouse gases then heat the air around them, and re-radiate the heat back down to earth, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
How would the atmosphere become a greenhouse?
The atmosphere becomes a greenhouse when certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun near the Earth's surface. This trapped heat leads to a warming effect, similar to how a greenhouse functions by trapping heat to create a warmer environment for plants to grow.
How do bio-gases cause -by contributing to- the green house effect?
Bio-gases such as methane and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect. When these bio-gases are released into the atmosphere from sources like livestock, landfills, and biomass burning, they contribute to the warming of Earth's surface by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This traps heat and contributes to climate change.

Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer share the same effect?
Yes they do share the same effect. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases block the temperature to troposphere. Thus heat cannot escape to Stratosphere.No
Is H20 a greenhouse gas?
No actually water is quite the opposite of a grrenhouse gas. Water acts like a giant sink that collects all the greenhouse gases in the air and buries it in the ocean. This is not very good for the fish and other animals that live in the sea becouse the gases that the water collects can poison the animals. This happens the same way that humans can get sick becouse of the dirty air. Sea animals breathe the water through their gills and the greenhouse gases that are in the water poison the animals.
How are the greenhouse effect and global warming the same?
They are not the same. The greenhouse effect is the natural way the earth keeps enough heat for life by using a small amount of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Global warming is what is happening because by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and destroying forests, man has almost doubled the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
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.
How do greenhouse gases act like the layer of glass in a green house?
The so-called "greenhouse gases" CO2, methane, water vapor, etc.
How are ozone and greenhouse gases different?
Ozone is a green house gas. But other greenhouse gases do not absorb UV rays.
How are gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide like the glass windows of a green house?
They are not exactly like the glass in a greenhouse, but they have the same effect. Greenhouse gases hold the heat in the atmosphere without letting it escape into space.
Green house effect to the environment?
Greenhouse gases are very insulating, so when they float up to the atmosphere, they insulate the world. Sunlight and heat goes in through them, but more goes in than goes out. So gradually all the heat is being built up in the world. They are called greenhouse gases because they have the same effect on the Earth that a greenhouse has on the plants inside: it lets heat in but not out. This is what is causing global warming.
What in the air is related to global warming?
The greenhouse gases in the air are related to global warming. Greenhouse gases cause the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing the warmth in the earth overall. The main greenhouse gases are:Water Vapor 36 - 72% effectCarbon dioxide 9 - 26%Methane 4 - 9%Ozone 3 - 7%Nitrous OxideCFCsIt is not possible to give an exact figure for the greenhouse effect of each gas as some of the gases overlap by emitting and absorbing radiation at the same frequencies.
What are scientist doing about water rise?
Greenhouse gases need to be reduced. Scientists are finding a method to do the same.
Is global warming and Green house effect the same?
Global warming The increase in the average surface temperature in the world with an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide, methane, and some other gases in the atmosphere. These gases are called greenhouse gases because they contribute to the heating of the Earth's surface atmosphere, a phenomenon known as global warming.bit.ly3vN0fl
