Answer 2

Nitrogen and Oxygen are two of the following gases that do not absorb much heat. (Option C and D)

• Nitrogen and oxygen, which are unable to absorb heat and thereby contribute to climate change, make up the bulk of gases in the atmosphere.
• Greenhouse gases come in a variety of forms. The most essential gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide.
• Three or more atoms make up each of these gas molecules. Because the atoms are bound together loosely enough, they tremble as heat is absorbed.
• The vibrating molecules finally release the radiation, which is then captured by some other greenhouse gases particle.
• This process keeps heat close to the Earth's surface, thus causing global warming.
