Oxygen and Nitrogen
Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor are greenhouse gases. They trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change.
Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and fluorinated gases like chlorofluorocarbons. Nitrogen is the most abundant gas in the atmosphere but does not contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect.
Whenever you write a question in the form of "Which of the following...", you must give some possible answers. We cannot read your assignment paper. In general, greenhouse gases are water vapor, methane and (to a much lower extent) carbon dioxide.
There are many gases which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Some are have a more potent effect than others. The following are considered to be greenhouse gases, the number after the name indicates the equivalent greenhouse gas effect compared to carbon dioxide (the principle man made greenhouse gas:Water vapour (H2O) = ?Carbon dioxide (CO2) = 1Methane (CH4) = 21Nitrous oxide (N2O) = 298Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) = 22,200Chlorinated fluorocarbons (CFC's) = 1000 to 9000Notes:1. Water vapor is an odd one in the list as it is naturally occurring. It may be responsible for more than 30% of the greenhouse effect2. CFC's include many different compounds.
The oxygen in photosynthesis is derived from water.

(The following Information is fromhttp:/enzperiodzwikipediazperiodzorg/wiki/Greenhouse_effect) The greenhouse effect is the heating of the surface of a planet or moon due to the presence of an atmosphere containing gases that absorb and emit infrared radiation Thus, greenhouse gases trap heat within the surface-troposphere system. This mechanism is fundamentally different from that of an actual greenhouse, which works by isolating warm air inside the structure so that heat is not lost by convection. The greenhouse effect was discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824, first reliably experimented on by John Tyndall in 1858, and first reported quantitatively by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. In the absence of the greenhouse effect and an atmosphere, the Earth's average surface temperature of 14 °C (57 °F) could be as low as −18 °C (−0.4 °F), the black body temperature of the Earth. Global warming, a recent warming of the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere, is believed to be the result of an "enhanced greenhouse effect" mostly (more than 50%) due to human-produced increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases. This human induced part is referred to as anthropogenic global warming (AGW).
Following the definition "an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the enhanced greenhouse effect.". It is safe to assume that Antarctica is not causing global warming.

venus. it has billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide which traps heat. the pressure is also a good sign
Burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.

The "greenhouse effect" is a manufactured controversy used to describe the behavior of sunlight to penetrate the atmosphere and to heat the Earth, but not allow heat to escape. This is widely used by alarmists to claim that humans are responsible for releasing "greenhouse gases" into the atmosphere which heighten the effect. Carbon dioxide, the supposed culprit in the "greenhouse effect" has very little effect in trapping heat; water vapor is far more significant a factor. On cloudy nights, the water vapor in the clouds prevents heat from radiating out from the Earth, but on clear nights, temperatures fall quickly because of radiation. If scientists wanted to prevent heat from reaching the Earth, one technique would be to spread dust high in the atmosphere to reflect the sunlight before it ever hits the Earth. This happens naturally when volcanoes erupt, throwing tons of ash into the stratosphere, After the 1815 eruption of the volcano Krakatoa, global temperatures were depressed by several degrees, causing crop failures and famines the following year.
