Methane in the atmosphere is an example of what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Trace greenhouse gas
The governing concept is the classification of atmospheric constituents by abundance and effect. Methane is present in a very small concentration, so it is a trace gas, and it absorbs outgoing infrared radiation, making it a greenhouse gas. Thus option B is correct. It is not a main gas like nitrogen or oxygen, nor is it a condensation nucleus or a solid dust particle.
