Question: What are the greenhouse gases?
Answer:
What Are Greenhouse Gases? Earth's greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (which all occur naturally), and fluorinated gases (which are synthetic).
Question: How do these gases affect our atmosphere?
Answer:
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. Greenhouse gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and some artificial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.
