Solution

Greenhouse gas:

  1. A gas that produces the greenhouse effect by both absorbing and emitting radiant radiation in the thermal infrared range is referred to be a greenhouse gas.
  2. The five main greenhouse gases in the atmosphere of Earth are ozone, carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
  3. The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon that happens when heat from a planet's host star passes through its atmosphere and heats the planet's surface but is prevented from radiating back into space by the atmosphere, making the planet warmer.

Ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions:

  1. Improvements in the fuel efficiency of light trucks and cars, which have the greatest potential to cut carbon dioxide emissions from transportation in the upcoming years, are among some efficient strategies for lowering greenhouse gas emissions from transportation.
  2. It also entails altering one's mode of transportation, shipping goods, and using fuels with lesser carbon emissions.
  3. To generate low-fuel consumption automobiles, strategies like voluntary agreements between the government and automakers must be promoted and advanced.
