  • A greenhouse gas is any gaseous compound present in the atmosphere that is capable of absorbing and trapping radiations, thereby holding heat in the atmosphere.
  • These gases are responsible for the increasing temperature of the earth and hence cause global warming.
  • The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
