Answer 1

Carbon dioxide is primarily called a greenhouse gas because it traps heat.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases are examples of greenhouse gases (GHG). Because they absorb heat, these molecules in our atmosphere are known as greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases, as a result, trap heat within the surface-troposphere system.
