Question

Which of the following is not a greenhouse gas?

पर्याय

• Methane

• Carbon dioxide

• Carbon monoxide

• Ammonia

Answer 1

Ammonia

Explanation:

The gases which are transparent to solar radiation but retain and partially reflect back long-wave heat radiations are called greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are essential for keeping the earth warm and hospitable. Gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH4), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), nitrous oxide (N₂0), carbon monoxide (CO), etc. are considered greenhouse gases. Ammonia is not a greenhouse gas and serves as a precursor of food and a building block of medicines.
