Carbon dioxide exists naturally in the atmosphere as a result of the earth's carbon cycle. It is also there as a result of man's activities in burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which releases long-stored carbon dioxide to add to the greenhouse gases already there.
Methane occurs naturally in the atmosphere, but is also produced by man's cattle ranching.
Nitrous Oxide (310 times more powerful than CO2) is emitted from industry, rocket and vehicle engines and even aerosols.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are completely made by man. They were released for a while from aerosols and are now being phased out as a refrigerant.
What else can I help you with?
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and potentially leading to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
What is a direct result of having greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are essential in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
What are greenhouse?
Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
What region has the least greenhouse gases?
The warmth of the sun and the global winds mix the greenhouse gases all round the world, so there is nowhere that has more, or less of the greenhouse gases.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and potentially leading to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
