Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone and nitrous oxide. They are known as 'greenhouse gases'.
Greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, also water vapor.

Greenhouse gases A+
Yes, greenhouse gases trap heat in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the earth's atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases trap infrared heat (from the sun) rising from the surface of the earth. More greenhouse gases trap more heat, and this is the situation now. Increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in particular are trapping more heat and causing a global warming.
Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the surface of the earth. These warmed gases radiate heat in all directions, including back onto the earth, heating the atmosphere. So the heat is not lost to space, but instead builds up in the atmosphere where it heats the earth as well. they trap the heat from the sun that is reflected by the earth
The greenhouse effect (greenhouse gases capture heat radiating up from the earth).
Ozone is a green house gas. It acts as a blanket over the earth's atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFC's, and water vapor trap trap the heat in the Earth's atmosphere.
To trap heat. The functions of greenhouse gases are to absorb heat from sunlight and trap it in the atmosphere to warm the Earth and melt the ice caps.
trap heat that is radiated upward from Earth.
Many, if not all of the various layers of a planet's atmosphere trap at least some of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ground and bodies of water trap heat from the sun (and heat from the atmosphere).

The atmosphere uses 4 different temperate layers to trap heat. yeah because if it didn't than we would be cold all the time.
they trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet
