Question
Why is CO2 Green house gas but O2 is not
Answers
GPT 3.5
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is considered a greenhouse gas because it has the ability to absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface and trap heat in the atmosphere. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, leads to warming of the Earth's surface and is responsible for maintaining the planet's temperature within a range suitable for supporting life.
On the other hand, oxygen (O2) does not have the same greenhouse gas properties as CO2. While oxygen is essential for respiration and sustaining life on Earth, it does not have the ability to absorb and trap heat in the same way that greenhouse gases like CO2 do. Additionally, oxygen is a diatomic molecule and does not have a significant impact on the Earth's climate system in the same way that greenhouse gases do.
