re: It would be nice
If someone could explain to me how a expanding gas does not cool down.
I do agree that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, it is used in greenhouses to improve the growth of plants, but it is not the gas that traps the heat, it is the glass or plastic windows that do the trick, they allow radiation to go through but prevent the raising air from “escaping to the space†above the building.
I can not understand how a freely expanding gas can do the same trick of preventing convection.
Since many of you seem to know the answer, would you explain it to me so that I do not need to wonder about it.
