What is the greenhouse effect, and what are some of the greenhouse gases that absorb and redirect the heat energy?

Flexi Says: The greenhouse effect refers to the effect of greenhouse gases to insulate and cause warming in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases include CO₂, H₂O, methane, O₃, nitrous oxides (NO and NO₂), which are a normal part of the atmosphere. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are man-made greenhouse gases that are not a natural part of the atmosphere.
