Explain the relationship between carbon dioxide and greenhouse effect


Explain the relationship between carbon dioxide and greenhouse effect ​

Answer 1

Burning fossil fuels like coal and oil puts more carbon dioxide into our atmosphere. NASA has observed increases in the amount of carbon dioxide and some other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Too much of these greenhouse gases can cause Earth's atmosphere to trap more and more heat. This causes Earth to warm up.

Answer 2

Carbon Dioxide (Co2) is a gass that traps heat. Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect.The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere  are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about −18 °C (0 °F),rather than the present average of 15 °C (59 °F).The atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Titan also contain greenhouse gases.
The co2 gas traps heat therefore acts as a greenhouse gas
