Water vapour, methane, carbon dioxide.
In fact one of the atmosphere's normal functions is its greenhouse effect, without which the Earth would be far, far colder. The risk with rising levels of these gases is in going too far the other way.

Why are some greenhouse gases and some not greenhouse gases?
"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."
What two things keep your atmosphere warm?
The natural greenhouse effect, helped by greenhouse gases and the carbon and water cycles of the earth keep the atmosphere warm. Greenhouse gases keep back some of the sun's heat so it doesn't radiate back out to space. This has kept the earth warm for millions of years.
What is good about natural gases?
Natural gases give us some energy
Did Humans create the Greenhouse Effect?
Yes ! Since the industrial revolution - we have been pumping billions of tonnes of pollutants into the atmosphere. Atmospheric pollution disrupts the Earth's natural heating & cooling cycle,
List of natural gases?
There are many natural gases. Some of these natural gases include shale gas, town gas, as well as crystalized natural gas.
Are any greenhouse gases natural?
Erm..they r and there not coz some r natural and sum r coz of humans

Is electricity produced by burning greenhouse gases?
When coal and oil are burnt to generate electricity, they are converted almost entirely to greenhouse gases. When natural gas is burnt to generate electricity, some of it is converted to water and some is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Because of this, natural gas is preferable as a fuel, compared to coal and oil. Generating electricity from wind, water flow (hydro-electricity), solar energy and hot rocks (geothermal electricity) emits no greenhouse gases.
What gases are produced by man in the greenhouse effect?
Humans produce the greenhouse gases of carbon dioxide (by burning coal, oil and natural gas, all fossil fuels), as well as some methane from our landfill practices and our pig and cattle farming. We also still emit some CFCs and other halon gases.
What is the difference between greenhouse gases and the ozone hole?
The greenhouse effect is some moderating gases (greenhouse gases) that allow energetic radiation to pass, but slow the passage of infrared to space. And molecule with three or more atoms is a greenhouse gas. The hole in the ozone is a natural repeating phenomenon. As the hole forms, more infrared is allowed to radiate to space, and the surface below the hole cools more.
What types of gases makes up natural gas?
Llamas

What are anthropogenic greenhouse gases?
Anthropogenic means made by humans, so the greenhouse gases caused by man are mostly carbon dioxide and some methane, and some CFCs.
What do greenhouse gases contain?
The earth's atmosphere contains trace gases, some of which absorb heat. These gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide) are referred to as greenhouse gases.
Talk about all types of the different gases?
Oxygen, hydrogen, helium, neon and xenon are some types of gases. There are many types of gases being; hydrogen, oxygen, anaesthetic gas, natural gas,helium,neon and carbon dioxide

The greenhouse effect is due largely to what?
It is caused by humans emitting harmful gases and chemicals into our Earth's atmosphere.Further information:Earth has both a "natural" greenhouse effect and a "man-made" greenhouse effect.The natural greenhouse effect is caused mostly by water vapour, and to a much smaller degree, to carbon dioxide, methane, and a few other minor gases. These factors help keep the Earth warm and habitable.The "unnatural" greenhouse effect is what results from the burning of fossil fuels and rainforest trees, which release extra carbon when they are felled and burnt.
