Out of these three, water-vapor and ozone do not contribute much green-house
effect to the earth's atmosphere because ozone is present only in the upper part of
atmosphere whereas water. Vapor is found only near the surface of earth (which is at
the bottom of the atmosphere). Only carbon dioxide contributes largely to the green
house effect in the earth's atmosphere, because carbon dioxide is much more
uniformly distributed in atmosphere.
The green-house effect produced by carbon dioxide gas is very crucial to our
existence on earth. This can be explained as fellows : By producing the green-house
effect, carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere traps the intra-red rays (heat rays),
leading to the heating of earth and its atmosphere. This heating of earth (or rise in
temperature of earth) is very necessary for our existence because without it, the whole
earth would be converted into an extremely cold planet, making the existence of life
difficult.
Our earth's atmosphere is transparent to the visible radiations coming from sun,
stars etc. But reflects back the infrared radiations and hence it does not allow the
infrared radiations to pass. The energy from the sun, heats the earth which in turn
starts emitting radiations. Since the earth gets heated to much lower temperature than
the temperature of sun, the radiations emitted by earth are mostly in the infrared
region, according to Planck’s low. These radiations emitted by earth are reflected back
by earth's atmosphere. Due to which the earth's surface remains warm at night.
Global Warming
Green House Gases Effect and Global Warming
Sun emits light of different wavelengths consisting of ultra-violet, visible region
and intra-red of these the harmful ultra. Violet radiations one absorbed by the ozone
layer in the stratosphere and warm the air rather than coming to the surface of the
earths. The visible and intra-red radiations pass through the atmosphere and reach the
surface of the earth. However, some of the light incident on the earth is reflected back.
For example of the total incoming light that falls upon the earth, about 50% reaches
the surface and is absorbed by it, About 20% of the incoming light is absorbed by
gases in the atmosphere, such as ultraviolet light by ozone in astrosphere and intra-red
by CO2 and water vapour present in air. The remaining 30% is reflected back in to
space by sand, snow, cloud ice snow and other reflecting bodies without being
absorbed.
Some gases in air such CO 2 has the property of allowing visible light to pass
through it but absorbing the intra-red radiations reflected from the surface of earth.
Therefore, all the IR emitted from the earth's surface and atmosphere escape directly
into space. After the absorption of IR radiation by CO 2 molecules these thermal IR
radiations are re-emitted in all direction and some are redirected back towards earth
surface and heat up the atmosphere.
Chlorofluorocarbons have also the greatest potential to cause global warming due to
their greater efficiencies of absorbing thermal IR radiations. Each molecule of cfc has
the potential to cause the same extent of global warming as do tens of thousands
molecules of CO2 cfc's are being excessively used in insulating freezers, refrigerators
and air conditioners and are posing threat of global warming However, Government is
now trying, to control the production of cfc's.
