Question
The normal temperature of the Earth would have been_____________ if greenhouse gases were not present in the atmosphere.
- 33ﹾC less than the current average
- 33ﹾC more than the current average
- 18ﹾC less than the current average
- 15ﹾC less than the current average temperature
Hint:
Greenhouse effect in excess increases the temperature of the Earth
The correct answer is: 33ﹾC less than the current average
When greenhouse effect won't be present due to the absence of greenhouse gases the Earth's temperature would fall by 33 degree Celsius
