Detailed explanation-1: -trapping power than carbon dioxide. It is also more abundant. But carbon dioxide and water vapor interact in crucial ways-more carbon dioxide means the atmosphere gets warmer, which then creates more water vapor, which traps. heat and warms up the atmosphere even more. SMOG STORY Some kinds of pollution in the.

Detailed explanation-2: -CO2 has a low heat-trapping ability compared to other greenhouse gases, but there is now so much of it in the atmosphere that it causes much of climate warming. CO2 accounts for a vast 82% of greenhouse gases emissions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Methane: A powerful greenhouse gas, able to absorb far more heat than carbon dioxide, methane is made of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms. It is found in very small quantities in the atmosphere but is able to make a big impact on warming. Methane gas is also used as a fuel.

Detailed explanation-4: -Are all greenhouse gases equally as effective at trapping heat? No. Greenhouse gases differ in their ability to trap heat. A kilogram of methane released into the air today, for example, will lead to about 20 times more atmospheric warming over the next century than a kilogram of carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -Just as a greenhouse traps heat or a blanket keeps you warm, carbon dioxide, methane and other gases-nicknamed greenhouse gases-trap heat from the sun that would otherwise bounce back into space.
