The main gas is water vapor, which is responsible for up between 40% and 70% of greenhouse warming. However as this occurs naturally it is not possible to regulate it. The next one is carbon dioxide (26%), then methane (9%) and ozone (7%). There are others too, but these are the main ones. There are many gases which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Some have a more potent effect than others. The following are considered to be greenhouse gases, the number after the name indicates the equivalent greenhouse gas effect compared to carbon dioxide (the principal man-made greenhouse gas)
* Water vapor (H2O) = ? * Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 1 * Methane (CH4) = 21 * Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 298 * Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) = 22,200 * Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC's) = 1000 to 9000
Notes:
1. Water vapor is an odd one in the list as it is naturally occurring. It may be responsible for more than 30% of the greenhouse effect.
2. CFC's include many different compounds.
Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide, Water Vapor, and Methane.

∙ 13y agoThe main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and fluorinated gases. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.

∙ 11y agoCarbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas by volume and overall influence. Methane (CH4) is a more powerful greenhouse gas, but exists in our atmosphere in much smaller quantities. Nitrous oxide (N2O) is another greenhouse gas.
These gases are not associated with each other. Additional CO2 (at present) is liberated primarily via combustion of fossil fuels.

Cement production releases carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas.
becoz trees take in the green house gasses and create oxegen
Yes, hydrogen sulphide is considered a greenhouse gas. While it is not as prevalent as other greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or methane, it can still contribute to the greenhouse effect by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
carbon dioxide, fluorocarbons
Methane and carbondioxide.
Green House Gasses, A.K.A. CO2 or Carbon Dioxide.
Methane, carbon dioxide
There are a number of tools available to track greenhouse gasses. They include portfolio managers, audits, and calculators. These tools are used by a number of organizations and corporations to keep track of greenhouse gasses.
carbondioxide
Yes. Venus has an atmosphere. The atmosphere is so thick and full of green-house gasses, we could not see the surface. The green-house gasses keep it very hot on the surface, as well.
many produce green-house gasses and are bad for the environment
green house gasses are produced like carbon dioxide which is the most common one produced by cars
The two greenhouse gasses are methane and carbon dioxide.
China (APEX)
the warming of the the earth as the suns rays upon exit from the atmosphere being reflected down to earth because of green house gasses.
Chlorine gas is green. If you heat iodine to make iodine gas it is a beautiful purple. Gasses of several compounds are also visible.
