Are greenhouse gases green in colour?Then why are they this name?

Dear student,                     
​Please find below the solution to the asked query  
   

​No, greenhouse gases are not green in colour. They are the gases that cause absorption and emission of radiation. Greenhouse gases help in keeping the earth’s atmosphere warm by not allowing the absorbed gases to escape the atmosphere just like the greenhouses do. This is why they are named as greenhouse gases.
Examples are- carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluoro carbons (CFCs) etc.

No they are not green in colour . Green houses gases prevent sun rays from getting reflected and cause heat inside the earth just like green houses are.

No greenhouse gases are not in colour. This name is given to it because here the green means from nature i.e. from the sun.
