Ozone, Methane, Water vapor.
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs infrared radiation, traps heat in the atmosphere, and contributes to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and chlorofluorocarbons are examples of greenhouse gases.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
No, it isn't. Water vapour, though, is a greenhouse gas. To be greenhouse gas the molecule must have a strong absorbence in the IR frequencies of light. Neither oxygen nor nitrogen (the major gases in the atmosphere) have this characteristic. To be a greenhouse gas the molecule must have at least three atoms. Water vapor is the most prevalent greenhouse gas in every measurable way. Carbon dioxide comes in a distant second with 0.04% of the atmosphere and about 5% of all warming. The rest of the gases that are involved are even more removed from the major gases in terms of warming and concentrations.
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.

The greenhouse gases contribute to the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases are inescapable.

Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
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
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Yes, ozone is a greenhouse gas. Any gas with three or more atoms in their molecule are greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
