On a clear day, water vapor can comprise 60 to 70 percent of the greenhouse effect. Next in line, carbon dioxide contributes an additional 25 percent. Some gases trap solar radiation from the sun ...

Reflected heat, in the form of long-wave radiation, is trapped in our atmosphere and keeps our planet warm. This is known as the natural greenhouse effect. The diagram below shows this process ...

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth also radiates lower frequency ...

On a 75 degree day, your car can reach temperatures of 120 degrees - posing a risk to people and pets. In Colorado, stronger ...

This led to a major discovery—that tropical cloud feedback may have amplified the greenhouse effect by a staggering 71% more than previously known to scientists. The effects of tropical low ...
