Depends on your understanding of the term "biggest":
- The largest volume of naturally occurring greenhouse gas is water vapour.
- The largest volume or tonnage of manmade greenhouse gases is carbon dioxide.
- The most potent is Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) which has a greenhouse gas impact 23,900 times that of carbon dioxide.

What is the name of the greenhouse gas which destroys another greenhouse gas?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy ozone.

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.
is fluorocarbons a greenhouse gas?
no
Is So2 a greenhouse gas?
No
