The example of greenhouse gases are -

water vapor , methane , carbon dioxide , ozone , nitrous oxide etc.

Greenhouse gases helps to maintain the temperature of the planet earth to sustain life .

Hence , from the given question ,

This occurs due to greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface
