Greenhouse gases are atmospheric gases that absorb and emit infrared radiation, contributing to the greenhouse effect and thus global warming. Common greenhouse gases include water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), ozone (O3), and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Nitrogen (N2), despite being the most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere, is a diatomic molecule that does not significantly absorb infrared radiation and is therefore not considered a greenhouse gas.

Nitrogen (N2) is not a greenhouse gas.

The greenhouse effect is a natural process essential for maintaining the Earth’s temperature, but human activities have increased the concentration of greenhouse gases, leading to enhanced warming. While N2 is not a greenhouse gas, some nitrogen compounds like N2O are potent greenhouse gases.
