Algunos gases que por su presencia porcentual clasificaríamos de poca importancia tienen otra función: "permitir a los rayos del sol penetrar hasta la superficie de la tierra y retardar el flujo de retorno de la radiación infrarroja", ellos son el ozono, metano, óxido nitroso, etc. que forman el llamado efecto de invernadero [...] El vapor de agua también es un gas de efecto de invernadero, cuyo origen es la evaporación de los océanos, lagos y selvas tropicales el que al condensarse forma nubes, las cuales funcionan como pantallas reflejando parte de la energía entrante procedente del sol y de la radiación de onda larga procedente de la tierra. 5, record 1, Spanish, - efecto%20invernadero
