Independently, oxygen and nitrogen are not greenhouse gases (though N2O, NO and NO2 are greenhouse gases). The most important greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. Methane, although found in quite low concentrations is also important because of its proportionately greater effect.

Is nitrogen the most important gas in greenhouse gases?
No, carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas, not nitrogen.
Why do nitrogen and oxygen do not cause the greenhouse effect?
Nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases. They are unable to trap and store heat. 3-atom gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane store this heat and cause the greenhouse effect.
Which of the following gases are mainly responsible for the atmospheric greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere?
Oxygen and Nitrogen
What is the most important constant gases of the atmosphere?
Nitrogen and Oxygen
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
What are the two main gasses found in earths atmosphere?
The two main gasses found in the Earth's atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen.nitrogen (N2) and carbondioxide (co2)Nitrogen (78%) and Oxygen (21%)Oxygen and carbondioxideNitrogen and Oxygen.Nitrogen = 78%Oxygen = 21%1% Carbon Dioxide, Argon, and other gases.
Do greenhouse gases thicken the air?
Not really, it thickens the Atmosphere though. However, since the atmosphere is mostly made up of oxygen and nitrogen, the effects of the greenhouse gases mostly stick to trapping heat.
What are the most important gases in the air?
The most important gases in air are oxygen, nitrogen, argon helium krypton
What are the two main gases?
Hydrogen and Nitrogen. Or oxygen and carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide.
What gases are not greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
Which atmospheric gases is probably the most important for human survival?
Maybe oxygen and nitrogen
What major gases are in Earth?
Nitrogen and Oxygen are the primary gases. Nitrogen consists of around 76% and Oxygen 22%
