Greenhouse gases keep the planet warm, and have done for millions of years.

Too much greenhouse gas, like extra carbon dioxide, causes accelerated climate change. Forests and the earth may be affected by changes in climate and other possible results. The Amazon Rainforest suffered severe drought in 2005 and then worse in 2010. Millions of trees died. This might have been an effect of global warming.

How do you know whether a gas is greenhouse gas i.e how a greenhouse gas is different from non-greenhouse gas?

A greenhouse gas is a gas (with at least three atoms) that traps heat inside the earth's atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide and methane. It is important that some heat is trapped inside our atmosphere - otherwise the earth would freeze. But too much heat has a negative impact on the climate.


What is the most effective greenhouse gas for trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere?

How water vapour as a greenhouse gas contributes to the greenhouse effect?

Water vapor acts as a greenhouse gas by trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight warms the Earth's surface, water evaporates and enters the atmosphere where it can absorb and re-radiate heat. This process helps regulate the Earth's temperature, similar to how a greenhouse traps heat inside.
