Explanation:

Greenhouse gas, any gas that has the property of absorbing infrared radiation (net heat energy) emitted from Earth's surface and reradiating it back to Earth's surface, thus contributing to the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour are the most important greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gas is explained below:

  • A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs the radiation coming from the sun and transfers some part of it to the Earth's atmosphere and prevents it from leaving the Earth's atmosphere.
  • Thus, greenhouse gas helps in maintaining the temperature of Earth by warming the Earth's surface.
  • Examples of some greenhouse gases are- water vapour, ozone, carbon dioxide, methane etc.
  • But, due to the combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation or other human activities, the amount of greenhouse gases is increasing in the atmosphere and thus, increasing the global average temperature of the Earth.
