Scientists know that streams and rivers can contribute significant quantities of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. One way ...

Learn about the precarious state of satellites orbiting Earth, as greenhouse gas pollution puts them in danger of colliding and creating space debris.

This same effect happens every day on the Earth. Gases within the atmosphere act like glass, trapping the sun's heat. These gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide ...

By the year 2100, some parts of Earth orbit may have upwards of 66% less carrying capacity for satellites, according to a new ...

The atmosphere is a mixture of gases. The atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (approximately 80%) and oxygen (approximately 20%). The remaining gases are found in much smaller proportions, such as ...

The Refrigerant Management Program is part of a suite of climate policies that work together to cut carbon pollution and ...

Specifically, the agency in 2009 found that six greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere — carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride ...

Both gases absorb solar radiation and have a warming effect on Earth's atmosphere. The campaign is led by Ben Poulter, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland ...

But contrary to popular belief, Earth's atmosphere has no clear or official boundary. Earth's gravity hugs most of the densest gases close to its surface, including oxygen, nitrogen, carbon ...
