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 forman 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. 1, record 2, Spanish, - gas%20de%20efecto%20de%20invernadero
