Which statement about carbon dioxide is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is a greenhouse gas
Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas because it absorbs and re-emits part of the infrared radiation released by Earth’s surface. This process influences the planet’s heat balance and climate, even though carbon dioxide is present in a much smaller amount than nitrogen. Therefore, option C is correct. It is neither a dust particle nor more abundant than nitrogen, and it does have a climate role.
