Solution

Greenhouse gas:

Greenhouse gases are those gas that absorbs and emits energy and cause the greenhouse effect.

Greenhouse gas includes:

  1. Methane: It is a primary component of natural gas and it can be converted into useable energy.
  2. Carbon dioxide: It is an important greenhouse gas as it traps energy and does not allow all energy to escape back into space.
  3. Ozone: It protects Earth against ultraviolet rays coming from the sun.
  4. Nitrous oxide: It enhances the greenhouse effect similar to carbon dioxide.
  5. Carbon monoxide: It has an important indirect effect on global warming.
  6. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs): These trap heat in the lower atmosphere and cause earth to warm.
