Greenhouse Gases

Greenhouse gases that cause the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide. The Earth's atmosphere is made up of many different types of gases, each of which has a different impact on the greenhouse effect. The most important greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases. Therefore, greenhouse gases are just atmospheric gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. This trapped heat creates a greenhouse effect, which contributes to climate change.
