Abstract
- The most important significant factor in keeping the earth hot is the greenhouse effect. It is because it holds on to some of the heat of the planet that would in other methods leave from environment to space. If the greenhouse effect was once no longer present then the standard Earth's temperature would be much colder and a lot less warm and existence would be impossible on earth. Holding infrared radiation and stopping it from releasing in outer house carbon dioxide (CO<subscript>2</subscript>) and different gases act as a cover for them. The extent of the greenhouse effect is what makes the Earth an eye-catching region for life. Nitrous oxide is a major greenhouse gas, with 298 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Over the past, a hundred and fifty years, rising atmospheric nitrous oxide concentrations have added to stratospheric ozone depletion and climate change. Nitrous oxide concentrations in the environment have been gradually rising over the last century, with nitrogen (N) fertilizers and manures added to agricultural soils becoming the primary anthropogenic source. Here a global inventory is presented that incorporates both anthropogenic and natural sources of emissions and processes that can control nitrous oxide emissions. This paper aims to re-examine nitrous oxide as a greenhouse gas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
