This is an interesting question that gets deeper then you may wish to go. A shuttle launch will release water vapor, which is a greenhouse gas. It is the most common of greenhouse gases. Water vapor is ignored though in terms of man contribution to greenhouse gas because it dissipates quickly and mans contribution to this gas is insignificant. The water vapor produced in a launch remains in the atmosphere for a few hours. Much of the raw material used to create this water vapor also comes from the atmosphere to start with.
Man produces almost 0.3% of all greenhouse gases, virtually none of this amount though is from the space program.

How does minimizing rocket flights protect the ozone layer?
Rocket fuel contain greenhouse gases which cause ozone depletion. Minimizing them will do benefit.
How can you use the term greenhouse gases in a sentence?
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
What kind of gases are released by the burning of natural gas?
Greenhouse gases, like Carbon dioxide (CO2).
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.

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
