What is Greenhouse Gases

Chapter 147
Encyclopedia of Data Science and Machine Learning
They are a natural part of the atmosphere that, through a natural process called the greenhouse effect, trap the sun's warmth and maintain the earth's surface temperature at the level necessary to support life.

DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-9220-5.ch147
Abstract
Climate change has become one of the most severe and pressing world issues due to its destructive effects of environmental degradation. Climate change aggravates global warming and brings about potential risks for both human society and natural systems. The quantile regression being used to help with climate change is exceptionally new. The article scrutinizes the newest developments in this important research area and provides the future research directions.

Renewable Energy Technologies, Sustainable Development, and Environment
Greenhouse gases are gases in an atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect. The main greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere are water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone. Changes in the concentration of certain greenhouse gases, due to human activity such as fossil fuel burning, increase the risk of global climate change.

A Comparative Study on World-Wide Carbon Emission Convergence: An Empirical Analysis
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere are called greenhouse gases (GHGs). Water vapor(H 2 O),carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane(CH 4 ),nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and ozone are the main GHGs in earth’s atmosphere. When present in the atmosphere, these gases trap radiation in the form of heat, causing a warming process called the greenhouse effect.
