The green house effect is a not a part of atmosphere, but it is an effect which is produced in the atmosphere due to airpollution. The gases such as CO and other inert gases serves as an jacket layer which reflects the heat waves again in to earth which leads to increase in temprature and leads to several problems like seasonal variations and melting of icebergs in the polar reagions

What role does carbon dioxide play in your atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide constitutes about 0.04% of the total atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas that uses greenhouse effect and radiative forcing to regulate the temperature on Earth's surface. It also plays a major role in carbon cycle.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
Which gas is mainly responsible for the greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect contains two different components: the natural greenhouse effect, and the enhanced greenhouse effect that results from human activities and is the cause of global warming.Water vapour is the most plentiful greenhouse gas and is mainly responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that maintains the world at a comfortable temperature suitable for human existence. Carbon dioxide also plays an important part in this natural greenhouse effect.Carbon dioxide is mainly responsible for the enhanced greenhouse effect. In this case, water vapour plays only a minor part as an enhancer, because the atmospheric concentration of it will increase if the temperature rises for other reasons, then causing a further increase in temperatures.
What is the main gas in your atmosphere that causes the normal greenhouse effect?
Yes - and no. Carbon Dioxide occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It's a waste product of respiration. However - it's also a waste product of many industrial processes. Since humans are responsible for ALL industrial processes - WE are the ones causing a build-up of greenhouse gasses !
What is the difference between greenhouse effect and greenhouse enhanced greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.See this link below for a diagram:Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)

Does greenhouse gases create an atmosphere?
No, greenhouse gases are part of the atmosphere, which is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases including methane. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.

What type of energy transfer is part of the green house effect?
The greenhouse effect involves the transfer of infrared radiation energy. Solar radiation passes through the Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface. The Earth then emits infrared radiation back towards the atmosphere, where greenhouse gases trap some of this energy, leading to a warming effect.
What is the difference between the Greenhouse Effect and fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.

What is the common greenhouse gas?
Water vapor is actually the most common greenhouse gas. However as it plays little part in global warming, and it doesn't stay long in the atmosphere (It is constantly falling as rain) it is not classed as a dangerous greenhouse gas. It contributes to the natural greenhouse effect which keeps the earth comfortably warm.Carbon dioxide is the Most common greenhouse gas that contributes most to the accelerated greenhouse effect and so to global warming.

How does water affect the greenhouse effect?
The great sheets of frozen ice and snow in the Arctic and Antarctic regions act to reflect some of the sun's heat back into space, thus keeping the planet cooler. If all this ice and snow disappears the rate of Earth's warming would increase.
What process is primarily responsible for heating in lower part of the atmosphere?
The primary process responsible for heating in the lower part of the atmosphere is the absorption of incoming solar radiation by the Earth's surface. The surface then re-emits some of this energy as infrared radiation, which is absorbed by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor, trapping heat and raising the temperature of the lower atmosphere. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
Why is the greenhouse effect not true?
The greenhouse effect is not a matter of opinion. It is a simple matter of an object (Earth) absorbing electromagnetic energy from the Sun in the high frequency part of the spectrum and re-radiating it in the lower frequency regime. The lower frequency regime encounters far more absorption in the atmosphere and the energy is thereby retained and heats the Earth. The greenhouse effect is a quantitative theory complete with equations, predictions, verifications and is testable in detail. The larger scientific questions pertain to integrating the numerous contributions to global warming in addition to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect and climate change are not the same thing and require a more sophisticated discussion than can be accomplished in a brief "answer."
