Detailed explanation-1: -Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3), and fluorinated gases. Greenhouse gases allow the sun’s light to shine onto Earth’s surface, and then the gases, such as ozone, trap the heat that reflects back from the surface inside Earth’s atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greenhouse gases that occur both naturally and from human activities include water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and ozone (O3).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-4: -Methane (CH4) is a hydrocarbon that is a primary component of natural gas. Methane is also a greenhouse gas (GHG), so its presence in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature and climate system.
Detailed explanation-5: -A greenhouse gas absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range, causing the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are-carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, ozone, nitrous oxide, and CFC (chlorofluorocarbons). So, no O2 is not a greenhouse gas.
