If it weren't for the Greenhouse Effect, the Earth would be very cold. But it is only good to a certain point. We humans are throwing high levels of greenhouse gases into the air that is causing what we have labeled Global Warming.
Water Vapor is the gas that is largely responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that has warmed the earth for millions of years.Carbon dioxide is the gas that is largely responsible for the present accelerated greenhouse effect that is causing global warming.
Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not absorb or emit infrared radiation, which is necessary for a gas to contribute to the greenhouse effect.
Yes, ozone is considered a greenhouse gas because it traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Yes, ozone is considered a greenhouse gas because it traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Gas
The gas that absorbs infrared radiation and contributes to the greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide (CO2).
It doesn't. Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
In terms of greenhouse effect, natural gas is more benign than coal or oil, because it provides a greater heating effect per unit of carbon dioxide produced. It is therefore not the major cause of the greenhouse effect.
Yes, ozone is considered a greenhouse gas because it traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.

Water (vapor).
Gas and/or Atmosphere
The normal greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm enough for life is caused largely by water vapour, with a small effect from carbon dioxide and methane.However, the greenhouse gas responsible for the present enhanced greenhouse effect is carbon dioxide, yes.
Yes, gas is a noun. Greenhouse here is an adjective describing 'gas'. Together they make a noun phrase, 'Greenhouse gas'.
