Kind of guessing, but I think its called the Greenhouse Effect.

What process causes gases in the atmosphere to trap heat the surface of earth?
greenhouse effect
How do greenhouse gases act like the layer of glass in a green house?
The so-called "greenhouse gases" CO2, methane, water vapor, etc.
What is greenhouse gas effect?
A greenhouse traps the heat inside it so that the temperature inside is hotter than the outside. Sunlight can pass through the panes of the greenhouse to warm and allow photosynthesis, yet it prevents the escape of heat from the greenhouse. Greenhouse Effect references that phenomenon. Greenhouse Gases are the gases that have the similar ability of trapping heat from sun's radiation. Gases include NOx, CO2, CO and the like. Such gases let sunshine pass through but retain and absorb the heat radiated by the earth. It makes the earth hotter due to the trapped heat (greenhouse effect).
Why is a greenhouse gas considered a greenhouse gas?
if you're asking why are the collective gases that are damaging the atmosphere called greenhouse gases the answer iswhen sun rays enter the earth to warm it up, when they try to leave the greenhouse gases reflect them back again stopping them from leavingthe earth is slowly heating up from this (global warming) and so people blame the greenhouse gases (which mainly humans are causing)we have called them greenhouse gases because the process of blocking the sun rays from leaving is the same technique that greenhouses use.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What process causes gases in the atmosphere to trap heat the surface of earth?
greenhouse effect
Process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat?
The process by which earth's atmosphere traps heat is called the greenhouse effect :)

What would be the temperature on the earth with greenhouse gases?
The earth's overall temperature with greenhouse gases is 76442 degrees F.

What is degassing?
degassing is the process where gases from inside the earth were released
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth called?
the greenhouse effect
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
What happen to earth as a result of greenhouse gases?
sunlight enters earth through atmosphere, reflected from the ground, greenhouse gases prevent them from escaping, they are trapped inside, sunlight=heat, therefore earth's temperature gradually increases

Why are greenhouse gases similar to a Greenhouse?
Like in a greenhouse, greenhouse gasses let radiation from the sun reach Earth (the 'inside' of the greenhouse) but won't let the Earth reflect radiation. This is exactly what greenhouses do. Through the glass walls, the sunlight can come in, but once the rays are inside, the heat is trapped. That causes (intentional) temperature rise in the greenhouse. These gasses also (most likely) cause a temperature rise on Earth.
