Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of greenhouse gases: Greenhouse gases are those that can absorb infrared radiation and trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Identify the common greenhouse gases: The most well-known greenhouse gases include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor (H2O).
Evaluate the options given: Oxygen (O2), Nitrogen (N2), and Argon (Ar) are not considered greenhouse gases because they do not effectively absorb infrared radiation.
Recognize the role of carbon dioxide (CO2): Carbon dioxide is a significant greenhouse gas due to its ability to absorb infrared radiation and its increasing concentration in the atmosphere due to human activities.
Conclude that among the options provided, carbon dioxide (CO2) is the correct answer as it is a well-known greenhouse gas.
