Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that trap heat from the Sun, helping to regulate Earth’s temperature. The most well-known include carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), nitrous oxide (N₂O), and water vapor. While these gases occur naturally and are essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels, agriculture, and deforestation, have significantly increased their concentrations, intensifying the greenhouse effect. This imbalance is a key driver of global climate change, with wide-reaching impacts on ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels.
