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.
