Explanation:

Greenhouse Gases (GHGs): Atmospheric gases like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide (N2O), water vapour, etc are capable of trapping the out-going infrared radiation from the earth‘s surface thereby causing the greenhouse effect. Hence these gases are known as greenhouse gases and the heating effect is known as the greenhouse effect.Global warming potential.

Global warming potential (GWP) is a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere up to a specific time horizon, relative to carbon dioxide.
