Greenhouse gases absorb infrared radiation, which means they trap heat. Nitrogen and oxygen tend to be thermodynamically inert, meaning they let the heat escape. Water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide absorb long wave solar radiation, which helps keep the earth warm.

Is ozone a greenhouse gas?
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
How is the greenhouse effect affecting earth's energy balance?
The greenhouse effect prevents heat escaping into space. Increased greenhouse gas levels means that more heat is retained. This affects the balance by making the earth warmer.
What harm does buring fossil fules do the environment?
It makes gas in a greenhouse.

What is the name of the greenhouse gas which destroys another greenhouse gas?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
How do you know whether a gas is greenhouse gas i.e how a greenhouse gas is different from non-greenhouse gas?
A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.
Is dihydrogen a greenhouse gas?
no, dihydrogen (H2) is not however dihydrogen monoxide is (H2O), Water vapor is the premiere greenhouse gas, it comprises over half of all the greenhouse gas found on our planet.
How water vapour as a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect?
Water vapour is a greenhouse gas that traps heat rising from the surface of the earth. In doing so it contributes to the natural greenhouse effect.
How is the greenhouse effect affecting earth's energy balance?
The greenhouse effect prevents heat escaping into space. Increased greenhouse gas levels means that more heat is retained. This affects the balance by making the earth warmer.
