Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the warming of the planet. This process is known as the greenhouse effect and is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature suitable for life. However, human activities have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases, causing global warming and climate change.

What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
What name is given to gases which trap heat from the sun?
They are generally called Greenhouses gases, as greenhouses trap heat into the glass.
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
Gases in the atmosphere that trap solar energy are called?
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap solar energy in the Earth's atmosphere. This leads to the greenhouse effect, which contributes to global warming and climate change.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
Where the greenhouse gases trap energy?
In the atmosphere
How are atmospheric gases like the gases in a greenhouse?
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
What are the functions and actions of greenhouse gases?
To trap heat. The functions of greenhouse gases are to absorb heat from sunlight and trap it in the atmosphere to warm the Earth and melt the ice caps.
What do greenhouses gases trap?
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
What name is given to gases which trap heat from the sun?
They are generally called Greenhouses gases, as greenhouses trap heat into the glass.
what is the definition of greenhouse gas?
Greenhouse gases (GHG) are any gas or types of gases that trap, absorb and emit heat.
What is the process in which gases trap heat in the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect
Gases in the atmosphere trap the sun's warmth?
Greenhouse effect
What greenhouse effect is?
gases in the atmosphere trap the heat from the sun
What is the name that gives gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
Greenhouse gasses are the cause of Global Warming.
