Assertion: CO_(2) present in the atmosphere absorbs heat radiated from heat radiated from earth in the form of IR radiations. Reason: CO_(2) is a pollutant.

Assertion : CO_2 and methane are called greenhouse gases. Reason : These - radiate heat and radiations cause global warming.

Assertion (A) Presence of gree plant is essential for greenhouse effect. Reason (R ) Chlorophyll of green plants causes greenhouse effect.

Carbon dioxide is an essential component of atmosphere. However, when the concentration of CO_2 increases in the atmosphere, it can lead to global warming through green house effect. Similarly, rain water is an essential source of water. It has pH of 5.6 due to the formation of H^+ ions from the reaction of rain water with CO_2 present in the atmosphere. When pH of the rain water falls below 5.6 due to the presence of acids in the atmosphere, it has very damaging effects. Name three gases which are responsible for greenhouse effect.

Assertion : If earth did not have atmosphere, its average surface temperature would be lower than what it is now Reason : Green house effect of the atmosphere would be absent, if earth did not have atomosphere.

Assertion:- If earth did not have atomosphere, its average surface temperature would be lower than what it is now. Reason:- Greenhouse effect of the atmosphre would be absent, if earth did not have atmosphere.
