This has caused some people to rename the process 'the atmospheric greenhouse effect' or just 'the greenhouse effect' Figure B Greenhouse effect (Image from EPA) The most abundant greenhouse gases responsible for the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozoneGreenhouse Gases and the Greenhouse Effect Greenhouse gases are certain gases in the atmosphere (water vapor, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane, for example) that trap energy from the sun Without these gases, heat would escape back into space and Earth's average temperature would be about 60º F colderGreenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is reradiated in all directions Since part of this reradiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere, it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above 5 Notoriou...
