Greenhouse gases are gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap heat, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to the warming of the planet. The main greenhouse gases include:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Methane (CH4)
- Nitrous oxide (N2O)
- Water vapor
In addition to these, synthetic fluorinated gases also function as greenhouse gases. These gases absorb the infrared radiation emitted by the Earth, trapping the heat in the atmosphere and leading to global warming and climate change
