Answer

Methane is a primary constituent of natural gas. It absorbs outgoing heat radiations from the earth and thus contributes to the green house effect and so is considered as a green house gas. Methane remains in the atmosphere for approximately 10 years. It is twenty times more effective in trapping heat in comparison to carbon dioxide.
