Greenhouse The Greenhouse Effect – a process where gases in the atmosphere stop heat from leaving the earth. Greenhouse Gases – any gas that prevents heat energy from earth from escaping into outer space. They include: • Water Vapor • Carbon Dioxide – 76.6% human • Methane – 14% human • Nitrous Oxide – 8%
