Which gas is 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO₂) in Greenhouse effect?
(A) Oxygen
(B) Nitrogen
(C) Hydrogen
(D) Methane
Gases that cause the greenhouse effect have varying abilities to warm the planet. Methane, for instance, packs a punch about 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide over a span of two decades. So, it holds much more heat in our atmosphere compared to CO₂. That's why methane stands out as a powerful greenhouse gas.
