Which of the following is NOT a greenhouse gas?

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Nitrogen.

  • Nitrogen makes up most of the Earth's atmosphere but does not trap heat, hence not a greenhouse gas.

  • Greenhouse gases trap infrared radiation and warm the atmosphere.

  • Carbon dioxide, Methane, and Water vapour are major greenhouse gases.

  • These gases contribute to global warming and climate change.
