Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Water vapour and carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere
A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs infrared radiation, traps heat in the atmosphere, and contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons are examples of greenhouse gases.
There is no greenhouse gas (GHG) layer. Greenhouse gases are mixed throughout the atmosphere producing an essentially homogeneous mixture. The popular concept, thanks to "bad science" news is that GHGs accumulate in a layer somewhere "up there" and form a barrier of gas that traps heat from the sun like glass in a greenhouse. Wrong! The GHGs in the atmosphere absorb heat from the sun because of the length of their atomic bonds. The warmer gases share their heat with the rest of the atmospheric gases increasing the average gas temperature
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.
If there were no greenhouse gases the earth could not support life. Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring and allow heat to be retained within the atmosphere.
Water vapour and carbon dioxide are the main greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere
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.
Greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane.
"Greenhouse gas" is just a catchy term that means "traps heat." Due to the way the atmosphere is layered, some gases trap more heat than others; CO being about the weakest "greenhouse gas."
Combustion releases carbon dioxide as the carbon in the organic material is joined with oxygen from the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is understood to be a greenhouse gas, meaning it traps heat in the atmosphere.

Ozone acts as a greenhouse gas too. It traps the heat emitted from the sun and does not allow it to exit.
Venus has a very thick carbon dioxide atmosphere, which traps the heat from the sun.

it happens every day because a lot of greenhouse gas is produced every day.when greenhouse gas is released into the air, it goes into the atmosphere. when heat from the sun hits the o-zone layer some go through it and some bounces off. greenhouse gas traps the heat, making the earth hotter every day
