The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options is not a greenhouse gas, we need to understand what greenhouse gases are and identify the options given. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Greenhouse Gases**: Greenhouse gases are substances that trap heat in the atmosphere. They contribute to the greenhouse effect, which warms the Earth. 2. **Common Greenhouse Gases**: Some common examples of greenhouse gases include: - Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - Methane (CH4) - Nitrous Oxide (N2O) - Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) 3. **Identifying the Options**: The question likely provides a list of gases. We need to analyze each option to see if it fits the definition of a greenhouse gas. 4. **Evaluating Each Gas**: - **Carbon Dioxide (CO2)**: This is a well-known greenhouse gas. - **Methane (CH4)**: This is also a significant greenhouse gas. - **Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)**: These are synthetic compounds that are potent greenhouse gases. - **Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)**: This is not a greenhouse gas; it contributes to acid rain and has a cooling effect on the atmosphere. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the gas that is not a greenhouse gas among the options is **Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)**. ### Final Answer: The one which is not a greenhouse gas is **Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)**. ---
