Any gas which has at least three atoms can be a greenhouse gas. Only they can absorb infrared radiation.
The following are the main greenhouse gases. The number after the name indicates the equivalent greenhouse gas effect compared to carbon dioxide (the principal man-made greenhouse gas):
Water vapor (H2O) = ?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 1
Methane (CH4) = 21
Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 298
Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) = 22,200
Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFCs) = 1000 to 9000
Water vapor and Carbon dioxide are largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect, which has kept the planet warm for millions of years.
Carbon dioxide, Methane, N2O, SF6 and CFCs are responsible for the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
Greenhouse gases are
Methane is 21 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide, pound for pound, and is coming from the melting tundra. CO2 remains of primary concern simply because of the sheer volume of it humans release each year, over 40 billion tons.
Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide all help keep the earth warm. The enhanced greenhouse effect is the result of artificially increasing levels of CO2.
The main gases are carbon dioxide , carbon mono oxide, CFCs and methane
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Yes, greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and others all contribute to absorb the reflected heat and prevent it going back out to space.
The trapping by the greenhouse gases of the long wavelength radiation (infrared) leads to more heating and a higher resultant temperature.

The greenhouse effect
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.

Gases are many that can contribute to ozone. Greenhouse gases to be mentioned here.
It is supposed that greenhouse gases contribute to global warming.
i think that it can, because cows produce the most methain and that does contribute to the greenhouse gases. but other things can make green house gases. like humans, dogs, cats, and machines. :)
Green house gases can cause great pollution to the atmoshprere and that leads to global warming and that can make life on earth extremely hard.

Greenhouse Effect
People contribute daily to greenhouse effect. They do by littering and wasting etc.
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
