Answer 2

Answer:

Carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, and sulphur/sulfur hexafluoride are collectively referred to as the greenhouse gases.

Explanation:

These greenhouse gases possess a great environmental threat to the earth. These gases trap the heat energy from the sun and dissipate them very slowly; this is the major reason behind global warming. When the sun’s radiations fall on the earth.

The earth reflects the harmful heat energy whereas in the presence of greenhouse gases the sun’s energy gets trapped inside the earth, thus increasing its overall temperature.
