The correct response is:
**Greenhouse gases have more than two atoms, allowing them to vibrate and release radiation, warming the atmosphere.**
This is because greenhouse gases, typically having three or more atoms, can absorb and emit infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect and helps to warm the Earth's atmosphere.
