Do greenhouse gasses make Earth's atmosphere warmer and if so why?
Greenhouse gasses, so called because of the similarity of their heat retention effect to that of actual greenhouses, cause gradual increase of atmospheric temperature by admitting daytime solar energy but blocking normal, nighttime (rising) heat escape (to outer space) at the upper atmosphere. Normal exchanges of "greenhouse" with non-greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere serve to limit heat retention and thereby stabilize average atmospheric temperatures; but disruption of normal atmosperic gas exhange can become cause for alarm at the prospect of unlimited increase of average atmosperic temperatures.
Is the greenhouse effect did not exist what would the normal temperature of the earth be?
If the greenhouse effect did not exist, the Earth's average temperature would be significantly lower, estimated to be around -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit) instead of the current average of about 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). This drastic reduction in temperature would make Earth inhospitable for most current life forms, as the planet would be frozen and unable to support liquid water. The greenhouse effect, primarily caused by gases like carbon dioxide and methane, plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's temperature and supporting life.
How does the greenhouse effect affect farmers?
The greenhouse effect can lead to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns, affecting crop growth. Warmer temperatures can alter the growing seasons and pest patterns, while changes in precipitation can impact water availability for irrigation. Extreme weather events like droughts or storms can also disrupt farming activities.
What 2 things does a paraffin burner provide in a normal greenhouse?
A paraffin burner in a normal greenhouse provides heat for temperature regulation and carbon dioxide for enhanced plant growth through the combustion of paraffin.
What is the link between the greenhouse effect and industrialization?
The Industrial Revolution, when we first seriously began burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), marks the beginning of the enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.The normal greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years. The enhanced greenhouse effect is causing global warming and climate change.
What does the greenhouse effect help do?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect, is causing global warming.
Does paraffin contribute to the greenhouse effect?
Yes, paraffin is produced from petroleum, a fossil fuel. It contains carbon dioxide from millions of years ago, so when it is burnt it adds to the normal greenhouse effect which has become overwhelmed by all the extra carbon dioxide. The normal greenhouse effect is now warming into the accelerated greenhouse effect.
Is the main atmospheric gas responsible for the greenhouse effect carbon dioxide?
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.
What are the uses of a normal thermometer?
It tells you the temperature (greenhouse; engine; person; etc.).
did the greenhouse effect increase?
Yes. When we started burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and cutting down the great forests of the worldd (deforestation), the normal greenhouse effect began to change into the accelerated, or enhanced greenhouse effect which we now have.
What is the cause effect and solution of the greenhouse effect?
Normal greenhouse effect:The cause of the normal greenhouse effect is the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that capture the sun's heat as it radiates back out from the earth.The effect of the normal greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm enough for life.We do not need a solution for the normal greenhouse effect because it is not a problem for us.Enhanced greenhouse effect:The cause of the enhanced greenhouse effect is the extra greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide and methane, that we have been adding to the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution, mostly by burning coal, oil and natural gas. Deforestation means that less carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.The effect of the enhanced greenhouse effect is to make the atmosphere warmer, all over the world - global warming.The solution for the enhanced greenhouse effect is for the whole world to use renewable energy sources for industry, transport and electricity, so we can stop burning fossil fuels. If the world plants more forests the trees will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. If we improve our agricultural practices we can reduce the amount of methane put into the atmosphere.

What is the main gas in your atmosphere that causes the normal 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 !

Is the greenhouse effect necessarily bad?
We need some greenhouse effect (good) but not too much (bad).The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm. Otherwise, we would freeze, the warmth of the day would disappear in the night. The carbon and water cycles keep enough carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere to support this.The accelerated greenhouse effect (which is happening now from man's deforestation and burning of fossil fuel) is the bad effect, causing global warming.
What effect is the greenhouse effect having on your planet?
The normal greenhouse effect keeps the planet, and us, warm.the enhanced greenhouse effect, which we are having now, is causing global warming and climate change.This is happening because of our burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
