The common greenhouse gases are:

  • Water vspour: H2O
  • Carbon dioxide: CO2
  • Methane: CH4
  • Nitrous Oxide: N2O
  • Ozone: O3
  • Chlorofluorocarbons: CFCs

What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and potentially leading to global warming. Examples of greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.


What are three examples of greenhouse gases?

Three examples of greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect and causing global warming.


What are some non-examples of the greenhouse effect?

There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.


What gases are not greenhouse gas?

Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.


How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?

The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do


What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?

What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.


What countries produce the least greenhouse gases?

Countries that produce the least greenhouse gases typically have smaller populations and/or rely heavily on renewable energy sources. Some examples include Iceland, Sweden, and Costa Rica.


How do you use the words 'greenhouse gases' in a sentence?

Greenhouse gases are naturally occurring gases but by increasing the concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere we are contributing to global warming.


Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?

Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.


What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.


What substances trap heat from the earth in?

Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
