Carbon dioxide, CO2
Greenhouse gases make up a small percentage of the Earth's atmosphere, approximately 0.04% for carbon dioxide alone. When considering all greenhouse gases, including methane, nitrous oxide, and others, their combined concentration is about 1% of the atmosphere. However, despite their low concentration, these gases play a crucial role in trapping heat and contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
Metals are not a part of earth's atmosphere. All metals are solid under normal conditions, except for mercury, which is a liquid.
Increasing levels of greenhouse gases lead to a warming of the Earth's atmosphere by trapping heat from the sun. This phenomenon, known as the greenhouse effect, is the primary cause of global warming. Therefore, increasing greenhouse gas levels will not make the Earth cooler.
The atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases make up about 1% of Earth's atmosphere. The most abundant greenhouse gas is water vapor, followed by carbon dioxide, methane, and others. These gases trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to climate change.
Increasing the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere
The atmosphere.
Earth's atmosphere is like a greenhouse because it contains gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat from the sun, creating a "blanket" that warms the planet. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate Earth's temperature and make it habitable for life. However, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have intensified this effect leading to global warming.
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon make up 99% of the atmosphere
No
It would make the greenhouse effect stronger.
nitrogen and oxygen
Nitrogen and oxygen make up 99% of Earth's atmosphere.
The atmosphere's composition allows it to trap heat from the sun through the greenhouse effect, which helps regulate Earth's temperature. Gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat, keeping the planet warm enough to support life. Without this natural greenhouse effect, Earth would be too cold to sustain life as we know it.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) currently make up less than 1% of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
