None. No gases reflect heat.
Heat from the Sun arrives as short-wave energy and passes right through the greenhouse gases and heats the earth.
This heat is emitted back up as long-wave energy. Long-wave energy is blocked by greenhouse gases, which absorb it and do not let it pass into the upper atmosphere and beyond.
These greenhouse gases include:
They slow the loss of heat
The process of trapping heat by gases in the Earth's atmosphere is known as the greenhouse effect. Certain gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere but trap heat, preventing it from escaping back into space. This leads to an overall warming of the Earth's surface temperature.
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by allowing sunlight to pass through and heat the Earth's surface. The surface then emits infrared radiation, which is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. This absorption and re-emission process effectively traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to an overall warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.

It uses something called the "greenhouse effect." Basically, "greenhouse gases," like carbon dioxide, are in the atmosphere. These gases trap and reflect the heat shining from the sun. They keep bouncing the sun's rays back and forth, which increases the temperature of the atmosphere.
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.

The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by allowing sunlight to pass through and heat the Earth's surface. The surface then emits infrared radiation, which is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. This absorption and re-emission process effectively traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to an overall warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse gases don't reflect anything. They absorb energy from incoming sunlight and warm up. The warm gas molecules then share the heat with all other molecules in the atmosphere. Many people think there is a layer of greenhouse gas "up there" that reflects the heat back to Earth. This is not the case, The gases are mixed all through the atmosphere, not concentrated in a layer.

water vapor is one of the greenhouse gases that is present around the planet and helps reflect heat back to Earth's surface , keeping it within the atmosphere.
