They let sunlight pass through the atmosphere, but they prevent the heat that the sunlight brings from leaving the atmosphere. The main greenhouse gases are: Water vapor. Carbon dioxide. Methane. Ozone. Nitrous oxide. Chlorofluorocarbons.
3 lip 2011 · Greenhouse gases are certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) that trap energy from the sun. Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth’s average temperature would be about 60º F colder.
10 wrz 2024 · The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live.
Definition. Greenhouse gases refers to a number of chemicals in the Earth’s atmosphere: carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and industrial ones like fluorinated or...
The greenhouse effect is a warming of Earth’s surface and the air above it. It is caused by gases in the air that trap energy from the Sun. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. The most common greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
