They are called greenhouse gases.
carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Greenhouse gases include: methane, ozone, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide. These gasses absorb and emit radiation in the infared range, are present in the atmosphere, and influence the temperature of the Earth's surface. Increased human production of carbon dioxide following the Industrial Revolution has been claimed as the cause of increasing global temperatures, a phenomenon typically referred to as global warming.
Carbon dioxide and methane are two greenhouse gases. They trap infrared heat rising from the earth's surface and help to keep the earth warm enough for life. If they were not around, the earth would be too cold for life.
Water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane are all greenhouse gases. This means they absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth (infrared radiation). Human activity (burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and bad farming practices, mostly), is adding more carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, so more heat is captured. This is global warming.
The greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trap infrared heat rising from the surface of the earth. This heat warms the atmosphere and also the earth again.
"Greenhouse" gasses.
carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
Yes. They can and they do. Any increase in the level of carbon dioxide or methane in the atmosphere will result in an increase in average global temperatures. This typically results in evaporation of additional water vapour, creating a slight amplifier effect, to further increase surface temperatures.

Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour absorb infra-red radiation as it comes off the surface of the earth.
The Earths surface would be much colder than it is.
Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases absorb most of the energy that is radiated from Earth's surface.
Greenhouse gases largely carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, nitrous oxide, HFC.
