Heat trapping gases absorb infrared radiation. Three of the major gases that trap heat are carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane.
The three major gases that trap heat in Earth's atmosphere are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and water vapor (H2O). These gases are known as greenhouse gases and help regulate the Earth's temperature by trapping heat from the sun.
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming.
The storage of heat in the lower layer of the atmosphere produced by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat near the Earth's surface, leading to warming of the planet.
The greenhouse effect traps heat next to the Earth by allowing sunlight to penetrate the atmosphere and warm the surface. The Earth then emits this heat as infrared radiation, but greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-radiate some of this heat back toward the surface, causing temperatures to rise.
Greenhouse gases
its when greenhouse gases build up and these gases traps the sun's heat, resulting in global warming
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, are gases in the atmosphere that trap heat from the sun, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
The gases around the planet traps the suns heat and energy in the atmosphere
The layer in the atmosphere that traps heat is the troposphere. The greenhouse gases in the troposphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, absorb and trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface, leading to the greenhouse effect and warming of the planet.

Greenhouse gases like water vapor, carbon dioxide and methane.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to global warming. Other greenhouse gases like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) also play a role in trapping heat in the atmosphere.
"Greenhouse gas" is just a catchy term that means "traps heat." Due to the way the atmosphere is layered, some gases trap more heat than others; CO being about the weakest "greenhouse gas."
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFC's, and water vapor trap trap the heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing global warming.
The storage of heat in the lower layer of the atmosphere produced by certain heat-absorbing gases is called the greenhouse effect. This effect traps heat near the Earth's surface, leading to warming of the planet.
At present man-made greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, are adding to the greenhouse effect. The natural carbon cycle is unable to cope with the extra CO2 which remains in the atmosphere gathering heat, and causing global warming.
