Question: How do greenhouse gases affect Earth’s climate?

Open the Greenhouse Effect Gizmo.

Set the Simulation speed to slow

Set the Greenhouse gases level to 10%

Select the Bar Chart tab

Click Play and observe the changes in the 3 bars.

T (°F) represents changes in temperature measured in degrees Fahrenheit
Heat flow represents changes in heat going in and out of the atmosphere

null

What do you notice about the heat flow into and out of Earth's atmosphere over the course of several days?

Heat into the atmosphere at night.

Heat out of the atmosphere

Heat flow in

Heat flow out

Temperature

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Carbon dioxide CO₂		Blocks heat from escaping the atmosphere. Warmer air holds more of it and as Earth heats up, it traps more heat.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)		Released when burning fossil fuels
Nitrous oxide N₂O		Second most important contributor to global warming
Methane CH₄		In the atmosphere, protects us from UV rays but acts as a GHG on the ground
Water vapor H₂O		Released by factors, power plants, and fertilizers and damages the ozone layer
Ozone O₃		Man-made gases that damage the ozone layer
