How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What are gases that absorb thermal energy in the atmosphere called?
Greenhouse gases.
What are the green gases?
They are not green gases, they are called greenhouse gases and they cause global warming.
Blanket of gas that surrounds a planet?
A blanket of gases that surround a planet is called an atmosphere. its not a blanket of gas.

What is green ice gases?
The question probably refers to "greenhouse" gases rather than green ice gases. Greenhouse gases are a group of gases in the atmosphere that tend to prevent heat escaping from the Earth. They act rather like a blanket and hold heat in the atmosphere. There are several greenhouse gases. The best known are carbon dioxide and methane although water vapor is also one of them, even if not usually recognized as such.
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?
The Greenhouse Effect. It happens when Greenhouse Gases (CO2) thicken the atmosphere and trap heat.
What is the blanket of gases that surround the earth?
The 'blanket of gasses' that surounds the Earth is called the atmosphere
What is the blanket of gases covering Earth's surface?
it is called the atmosphere
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.
