Hydrocarbons
Hydrocarbons are made up of carbon and hydrogen. They are most famous for being the primary constituent of fossil fuels, namely natural gas, petroleum and coal.
When they are burnt in the oxygen, carbon reacts oxygen to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water vapors.
Water vapor is the most abundant green house gas in the atmosphere.
Heat radiated from Earth's surface is absorbed by water vapor molecules in the lower atmosphere.
Therefore, The main source of water vapor is the burning of Hydrocarbons. which produces carbon dioxide and water vapor
