Answer 2

Answer:

The gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide and methane.

Explanation:

As we have learnt, the greenhouse effect is the process of the warming of the Earth.
This is done with the help of the Earth's atmosphere, and the gases present within it. This phenomenon helps maintain the Earth's temperature, thereby enabling healthy lives on Earth.

The phenomenon itself occurs when the Sunlight passes through the atmosphere onto the Earth's surface, which then radiates heat out. Under normal circumstances, this heat would've escaped the Earth and gone into outer space, but because the Earth has its atmosphere and the gases present on it, it traps the heat to warm up the Earth, thereby not letting it escape.

However, an excess of these gases would lead to excess greenhouse effect, causing Global Warming.

The gases that are involved in this phenomenon are - water vapour, carbon dioxide, ozone, oxides of nitrogen, methane and carbon monoxide.
