Greenhouse gases trap the heat rising from the warmed surface of the earth. Hence, increasing the temperature of earth. This is called the greenhouse effect.
If extra greenhouse gases are added, then we have an accelerated greenhouse effect, which causes global warming.

However, humans are the largest contributor of greenhouse gases. We produce the most amount of carbon dioxide on Earth. We also breathe out water vapour, which is the top greenhouse gas on Earth.

The methane is oxidized to carbon dioxide
CFCs and related compounds are broken down by UV light

How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What in greenhouse gases are bad for the ozone?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are greenhouse gases. They also destroy ozone.

How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What are greenhouse?
Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs
Why is it called the green house effect?
Because the "greenhouse gases" act similarly to a greenhouse. The heat goes through the gases (glass panes) and is stored on Earth (greenhouse) and is unable to exit back into the atmosphere (sky). Google "greenhouse effect" and go look at the images, the pictures on the first page will help you to understand my analogy.
Name two greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
