What distinguishes them from other gases is that they absorb the wavelengths of radiation that a planet emits, resulting in the greenhouse effect. [1] .
- Overview of Greenhouse Gases | US EPAGases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases. This section provides information on emissions and removals of the main greenhouse gases to and from the atmosphere.
- What are greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? - IBMThe most abundant of the GHGs, CO 2 emissions represent three-quarters of all human-caused GHG emissions. The primary source of CO 2 emissions is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas for energy and transportation. CO 2 is also released through deforestation and other land-use changes. Before the Industrial Revolution, the global CO 2 concentration was about 280 parts ...
- What Are Greenhouse Gases and Why Do They MatterGreenhouse gases (GHGs) are a category of gases that absorb heat energy emitted from the planet's surface and they remain in Earth's atmosphere for a long time (from decades to centuries).
- What is the greenhouse effect? - NASA ScienceGreenhouse gases are part of Earth's atmosphere. This is why Earth is often called the 'Goldilocks' planet – its conditions are just right, not too hot or too cold, allowing life to thrive. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is its natural greenhouse effect, which maintains an average temperature of 15 ° C (59 ° F) .
