Welding cylinders contains different types of gas. Oxygen is common to all the kinds of cwelding. The other common gas used is a combustible gas like acetylene which is the fuel for the torch. The fuel gas could also be hydrogen, MPS or MAPP gas, butane, propane, or propylene. Some welding (e.g. aluminum welding) requires a shield gas which protects the surfaces near the flame and improves the quality of the weld. These can include helium, argon, carbon dioxide or nitrogen.

What is the difference between gas welding goggles and arc welding goggles?

If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
