Greenhouse gases trap the heat rising from the warmed surface of the earth. Hence, increasing the temperature of earth. This is called the greenhouse effect.

If extra greenhouse gases are added, then we have an accelerated greenhouse effect, which causes 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.


Why is it called the green house effect?

Because the "greenhouse gases" act similarly to a greenhouse. The heat goes through the gases (glass panes) and is stored on Earth (greenhouse) and is unable to exit back into the atmosphere (sky). Google "greenhouse effect" and go look at the images, the pictures on the first page will help you to understand my analogy.


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.

What substances trap heat from the earth in?

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.


What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.


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.
