Question:
Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?
Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?
Show Hint
Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation and include CO2, CH4, O3, but not H2O (in non-vapor form).
Updated On: May 3, 2025
- CH4
- CO2
- O3
- H2O
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Greenhouse gases are those that trap heat in Earth's atmosphere. Common ones include:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Ozone (O3)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O)
Water (H2O) in vapor form does act as a greenhouse gas, but in its pure liquid form (as stated) it's not categorized as a greenhouse gas in the same atmospheric context.
