Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) trap infrared radiation (heat) causing a greenhouse effect.
Nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases. They are unable to trap and store heat. 3-atom gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane store this heat and cause the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.

Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect
Nitrogen and oxygen are not greenhouse gases. They are unable to trap and store heat. 3-atom gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane store this heat and cause the greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane, mostly) cause global warming by increasing their levels in the atmosphere. This turns the benign greenhouse effect into an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Yes. The infrared radiation from the surface of the earth is captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This causes the greenhouse effect.
Two other planets besides Earth.Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, with most of its atmosphere carbon dioxide, and a temperature of 460° Celsius.Mars has a very faint greenhouse effect, with a little carbon dioxide, but hardly any atmosphere at all.Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a greenhouse effect, with large concentrations of methane.
Chemicals can cause greenhouse effect. They then can react with ozone to deplete it.
There are many gases that cause "greenhouse effects". Water Vapour Carbon dioxide Methane Nitrous Oxide Ozone Chloroflourocarbons (CFC's) are just a few.
The danger is, if the infrared is trapped by atmospheric gases it can cause greenhouse effect.

Forests absorb greenhouse gases. They are the ones that cause ozone depletion.
