Answer:

Weaker.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An aerosol is a fine suspension of solid or liquid droplets in air or any other gas. They can be natural or man-made. Examples include dust, fog, streams, etc. The size of particles has a major impact on their properties and diameter. Typically smaller than one micron.
  • As compared to the impact of greenhouse gases these particles don't harm the natural environment in much extend as the GHGs have done so in the geologic period of the earth.
  • GHGs concentration can form sooty particles and spread to larger distance the methane gas once react with the ozone can destroy it and cause hazardous problems, Impact of carbon monoxide and dioxide on the planet is seen as the impact of coal and industrial wastes.
