Yes they both absorb infrared heat rising fron the surface of the earth, keeping the planet warm.
Water vapour can not build up in the atmosphere. When the air can't hold any more, it falls as precipitation (rain) of some kind. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand can, and is building up in the atmosphere because of human activity. This is leading to global warming and climate change.

What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)
The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and what?
Carbon Dioxide.
Greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere include water vapor methane nitrous oxide and what?
Carbon dioxide
What do greenhouse gases contain?
The earth's atmosphere contains trace gases, some of which absorb heat. These gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide) are referred to as greenhouse gases.
Do greenhouse gases really cause the greenhouse effect?
Yes, greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and others all contribute to absorb the reflected heat and prevent it going back out to space.
What substances trap heat from the earth in?
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
What are the two important greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)
Which gases in the atmosphere trap the sun's warmth?
greenhouse gasesThe main greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.
The major greenhouse gases include methane CFCs water vapor and what?
Carbon Dioxide.

Carbon dioxide

What are two main greenhouse gases that keep the planets atmosphere warm and livable?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
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.
What happens if carbon dioxide methane and water vapor weren't in the atmosphere?
The earth would be much colder. These are greenhouse gases.
What is the atmospheric gas that traps heat inside the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane.
What is one of the greenhouse gases?
Well, water vapor and carbon dioxide are definatley abundant in our world down here on earth and in the atmosphere. Also methane.
What are greenhouse?
Non-greenhouse gases are all gases except the greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb and emit infrared radiation.The most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are:Water vapor (H2O)Carbon dioxide (CO2)Methane (CH4)Nitrous oxide (N2O)Ozone (O3)CFCs
