Common Greenhouse Gases Work Carbon Dioxide Methane Trap

The two most common greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane; they trap heat by reflecting radiation back towards Earth instead of letting it escape.

I due gas serra più comuni sono l'anidride carbonica e il metano; intrappolano il calore riflettendo la radiazione verso la Terra anziché lasciarla disperdersi.
