There are many gases which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Some have a more potent effect than others. The following are considered to be greenhouse gases, the number after the name indicates the equivalent greenhouse gas effect compared to carbon dioxide (the principal man made greenhouse gas:
Water vapour (H2O) = ?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 1
Methane (CH4) = 21
Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 298
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) = 22,200
Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC's) = 1000 to 9000
Notes:
1. Water vapor is an odd one in the list as it is naturally occurring. It may be reponsible for more than 30% of the greenhouse effect.
2. CFC's include many different compounds.

What natural greenhouse gases are associated with greenhouse effect?
global warming
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
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 the other name for the greenhouse effect?
There really is no other term for the effect of greenhouse gases besides the greenhouse effect.Other associated terms for what the effects cause include:Global WarmingGlobal Climate ChangeClimate ChangeGreenhouse Gas Effect
What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
Greenhouse Effect
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
The effect is the process by which gases in the atmosphere trap heat?
The greenhouse effect
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect
What is another name for enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural process by which greenhouse gases keep the earth's temperature at a comfortable level suitable for human existence. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the increase in greenhouse gases that is leading to global warming. The term "enhanced greenhouse effect" is also referred to as the "anthropogenic greenhouse effect" and is the idea that humans may have an effect on global climate. It is also referred to as the "runaway greenhouse effect".
What is a sentence with greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
