Greenhouse gases are those that absorb and emit infrared radiation in the wavelength range emitted by Earth. In order, the most abundant greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor ( $H_{2} O$ ), carbon dioxide ( $C O_{2}$ ), methane ( $C H_{4}$ ), nitrous oxide ( $N_{2} O$ ), ozone ( $O_{3}$ ), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
