Where in space does the greenhouse effect occur?
The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.
Which product of combustion contributes most to the greenhouse effect?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the primary product of combustion that contributes the most to the greenhouse effect. It is a major greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere and leading to global warming. Other combustion byproducts, such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), also contribute to the greenhouse effect, but CO2 is the most significant.
Too many greenhouse gases would make earth similar to which planet?
Similar to Venus. Venus has a very high surface temperature due to its greenhouse effect. Its atmosphere contains 96.5% carbon dioxide (CO2), and its temperature is 460° Celsius, 850° Fahrenheit or 735° Kelvin.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
Why is the word green color used in the greenhouse effect?
The term "greenhouse effect" is named after a greenhouse because it describes how certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat, similar to the way a greenhouse traps heat for plants to grow. It's not necessarily related to the color green specifically, but rather to the concept of heat being trapped.
