What else can I help you with?
Are longer days a result of the greenhouse effect?
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
What name is given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide?
The name given to warming of the earth due to increased levels of carbon dioxide is global warming. This is a result of the greenhouse effect, where carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to a rise in temperature.
Is natural gas the major cause of the greenhouse effect?
In terms of greenhouse effect, natural gas is more benign than coal or oil, because it provides a greater heating effect per unit of carbon dioxide produced. It is therefore not the major cause of the greenhouse effect.
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
What are synonyms of the greenhouse effect?
Global warming or climate change.Not exactly. The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.Global warming is the result of the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect.
Are longer days a result of the greenhouse effect?
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.
What is the main objective of greenhouse effect?
The main objective of the greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm. It has been doing this successfully for millions of years. Unfortunately we have caused an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What is carbon dioxide in the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide is the main greenhouse gas. It also causes global warming.
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 some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
What does nitrogen do in the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen itself does not contribute directly to the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. However, nitrogen compounds can indirectly affect the greenhouse effect when they are released into the atmosphere and interact with other greenhouse gases.
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What can you do to stop green house effect?
You cannot stop the greenhouse effect. This is because the greenhouse effect is a direct result of the earth having an atmosphere, most notably because of the atmosphere containing carbon dioxide.I suppose this means that if you really wanted to stop the greenhouse effect, you'd have to remove all carbon dioxide from the air, along with all other greenhouse gases - which would be difficult.
The warming of an atmosphere that is the result of gasses such as carbon dioxide which prevent the sun's heat from escaping?
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, trap heat in Earth's atmosphere, leading to a warming effect. This phenomenon can contribute to global warming and climate change.
Does the greenhouse effect result from human activity?
Yes. Humans have been burning fossil fuels since the beginning of the Industrial Age (1750s). This releases long-held carbon dioxide that has been sequestered away for 300 thousand years. This extra greenhouse gas is changing the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect, which is getting warmer and warmer.
Is the greenhouse effect always a harmful result of human behavior?
No! The greenhouse effect is a natural effect that has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.The enhanced greenhouse effect, which we have now, is the result of human behaviour, namely, deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases additional carbon dioxide. This greenhouse gas is building up in the atmosphere causing global warming.
