Detailed Solution

Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas.
“Greenhouse effect is the process by which radiations from the sun are absorbed by the greenhouse gases and not reflected back into space.” This insulates the surface of the earth and prevents it from freezing.A greenhouse gas is a gas that emits heat into the atmosphere as it expands. It also becomes entangled in the surroundings and cannot depart the interior layer of the Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxides, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, and sulfur dioxide are types of greenhouse gases. However, oxygen, nitrogen, and argon are not greenhouse gases.
