Its actually a mixture of gases in the atmosphere consisting of: Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Smog and several others I can't remember. All of these gases exist naturally in the atmosphere and regulate the temperature of the planet. But the problem is is that Humans are creating an excess of these gases with new technologies and irresponsible waste management that there is a surplus of these gases.
Also right now scientist are calling this change in heat, for the Earth, "Global Warming" it is both helpful and harmful to people. Too much gas can make the Earth too hot and make plants die, sadly that is the truth.
The most effective greenhouse gas for trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere is carbon dioxide (CO2).
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most efficient gas at trapping heat in the atmosphere, known as the greenhouse effect. Other greenhouse gases such as methane (CH4) and water vapor also contribute to trapping heat, but CO2 is the most well-known and abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Most scientists believe that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main gas responsible for causing the temperature in the atmosphere to rise due to its role in trapping heat from the sun, a phenomenon known as the greenhouse effect.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. Other greenhouse gases like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) also play a role in trapping heat in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide makes up about 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere by volume. However, it plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and is a greenhouse gas responsible for trapping heat in the atmosphere.
No, different greenhouse gases have different abilities to trap heat in the atmosphere. For example, carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas, while methane is even more effective at trapping heat, despite being present in lower concentrations. Factors such as their molecular structure and lifetime in the atmosphere contribute to their heat-trapping capabilities.
Carbon dioxide is an inorganic gas at room temperature.
YesThe gerund is trapping. The phrase is the trapping of gas. Yes it is the direct object.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary greenhouse gas released by the burning of fossil fuels. This gas contributes to global warming by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
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.
Carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas classified as a non-flammable and non-toxic substance. It is considered a greenhouse gas due to its impact on trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere and absorb heat so it can not escape making earth warmer. It is called Global Warming.
