I think the question is badly worded. "greenhouse fact"? I guess you mean "greenhouse effect", you might want to check, if this is a homework question.
If this is about the natural greenhouse effect, rather than man increasing it, then I think the answers are,
Habitable climate - the earth would be in a permanent ice age if there was no greenhouse effect.
Warmer temperatures - that is what the greenhouse effect does, makes the temperatures warmer than they would have been without it. The earth would be in a permanent ice age if there was no greenhouse effect.
Increased radiation - that is what causes the warmer temperatures. It comes from the atmosphere, which is trapping some of the radiation from the earth and returning it to the earth.

Habitable climate
Warmer temperatures
These two answers are tightly related, habitable climate on earth is due to the greenhouse effect causing warmer temperatures.
The greenhouse effect does not increase radiation, it merely slows the escape of long-wave radiation. You could argue that it cause more radiation to be bouncing in the atmosphere at one time, but that's different from more radiation in total. This optional answer is not clear.
The warmer atmosphere increases evaporation thus increases water vapor. So that one is clearly not true.
The greenhouse effect is the result of CO2 and other greenhouse factors, and an increase in warming does cause CO2 levels to rise. But in a cooling atmosphere CO2 levels would decrease but the greenhouse effect would still exist. Again not a clear question because a change in the greenhouse effect can cause either increasing or decreasing CO2 depending on the direction of the change of the greenhouse effect.
It does not change the rotation of the earth, thus does not create longer days.

The results of the greenhouse facts-mainly hot whether of Earth will coming for CO2 Gas rising. Weather will be abnormal, some time rain suddenly, or no rain long time. Heavy cool or heavy hot condition can fawn.

greenhouse effect is due to accumulation of greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide that absorb radiation from the sun leading to the warming up of the Earth's atmosphere...

Habitable climate would be my #1 choice.
Clearly if we are emitting CO2, the CO2 would increase.
Theoretically that might lead to warmer temperatures but not necessarily. All you can say is that it should increase the temperature of what it would be naturally. If it was going to cool naturally, then increasing CO2 may or may not lead to warming.
I don't think it would lead to greater radiation. It would probably be marginally less.
If it doesn't increase water vapor then even most alarmists would recognize that our CO2 doesn't really pose a threat.
