Sentences with phrase «radiative gases»
Radiative gases are substances that can trap and emit heat in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, act like a blanket, keeping the planet warm. However, when there are excessive amounts of these gases due to human activities, it can lead to an increase in the Earth's temperature, causing climate change. Full definition
