1 The earth's atmosphere contains trace gases, some of which absorb heat. 2  These gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide) are referred to as greenhouse gases.. 3  Albedo has an important influence on the earth's temperature. 4  Greenhouses are structures designed to retain heat.
Even though only a tiny amount of the gases in Earth s atmosphere are greenhouse gases, they have a huge effect on climate. There are several different types of greenhouse gases.The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. All of these have molecules with three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat.ven though only a tiny amount of the gases in Earth s atmosphere are greenhouse gases, they have a huge effect on climate.
