Long wave radiation emitted by the sun reflects off earth's surface and is absorbed by heat trapping gas in the atmosphere. Nitrogen and oxygen do NOT absorb infrared radiation, but CO2, CH4, and H2O DO trap heat.
Yes, SF6 is a greenhouse gas.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
A carbon offset is a financial tool aimed at a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon offsets are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent which can exemplify 6 primary families of greenhouse gas emissions. One carbon offset constitutes the step-down of one tonne of carbonic acid gas or its equal in other greenhouse gases. this text was taken from: www.sofame.com/Carbon-Offsets
Yes, SO2 is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, ammonia is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, sulfur dioxide is a greenhouse gas.
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Yes, NH3 (ammonia) is considered a greenhouse gas.
Yes, O3, also known as ozone, is a greenhouse gas.
Nitrous oxide is known as the third greenhouse gas, after carbon dioxide and methane. It is a potent greenhouse gas that is produced through agricultural activities, industrial processes, and combustion of fossil fuels.
Yes, ozone is considered a greenhouse gas. While ozone in the stratosphere protects us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, at ground level it can contribute to warming the Earth's surface as a greenhouse gas.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.
