Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?

  • 1.Carbon dioxide
  • 2.Sulfur dioxide
  • 3.Methane
  • 4.Nitrogen
Correct Answer
Option 4:Nitrogen
Solution

Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. The greenhouse effect is caused by greenhouse gases. The substances absorb and release thermal infrared radiation. Methane, ozone, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane are the main greenhouse gases. While sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides act as secondary greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse Effect

In a closed glass building called a greenhouse or glasshouse, plants are cultivated under controlled climatic conditions. The floor, earth, and other inside materials absorb the solar energy that enters the structure through the glass. As a result, they warm up and emit the energy again as heat radiation with a longer wavelength.

Since glass cannot transfer infrared radiation, this radiation cannot escape from the material. As a result, the greenhouse's interior temperature rises. This is the Greenhouse Effect.

Natural Greenhouse effect

  • The Greenhouse Effect happens naturally.
  • On Earth, it has been happening for millions of years.
  • This occurrence made it possible for life to go from the water to the land.
  • Since the earth's temperature stays at an average of 15 °C, this is also the reason life has persisted on the planet.
  • As a result, nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas.

Summary:

Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?

Therefore nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. Plants are raised in climate-controlled environments inside a glass enclosure called a greenhouse effect. Water vapor and water-containing airborne particles cause the natural greenhouse effect.

Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?
