When in the atmosphere, they "trap" or reflect back outgoing infrared radiation (that Earth would normally shine out into space) so that the average heat loss of the Earth is reduced. This causes the atmosphere to heat up slightly. This is called "global warming"
They are called "greenhouse gasses" because the glass in a greenhouse has a similar effect, warming the inside of the greenhouse by trapping the Sun's heat.
Green house gases, such as carbon dioxide.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are man-made gases that are also greenhouse gases.
Hydroxyl radicals (OH) are significant greenhouse gases that play a crucial role in the atmosphere by reacting with and breaking down other greenhouse gases, such as methane and some chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). By facilitating the oxidation of these gases, hydroxyl radicals help mitigate their warming effects. However, they are not greenhouse gases in the traditional sense, as they are short-lived in the atmosphere. Instead, they act more as a natural atmospheric cleanser.
CO2, H2O, methane.
The earth is protected by its atmosphere.
Depending upon the gases, they will either increase or decrease a plant's growth rate.
Green house gases, such as carbon dioxide.
Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.
Ozone itself is a green house gas. There would be no way that green house gases would harm it.
yes, green house gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and others are causes of global warming.
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are man-made gases that are also greenhouse gases.

Green house effect is the hypothesis that certain gases in the high atmosphere hold heat in.
