The most important greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide(CO 2), and The "greenhouse effect" is the warming that happens when certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat These gases let in light but keep heat from escaping, like the glass walls of a greenhouse The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to the surface of the Earth by "greenhouse gases" These heattrapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around the Earth, which keeps it toastier than it would be without them Greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxides
