The Greenhouse Effect: A Natural Phenomenon or Human-Caused?
Understanding the Greenhouse Effect
The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon in which solar radiations become trapped within the surface of the earth, warming the surface and raising the planet's temperature.
Through this action, greenhouse gases let sunlight enter the atmosphere while preventing heat from escaping.
When gases in Earth's atmosphere capture the heat from the Sun, the process is known as the greenhouse effect. Earth becomes significantly warmer as a result of this process than it would be otherwise.
The greenhouse effect functions as you might anticipate from the name—just like a greenhouse! A structure with glass roof and walls is known as a greenhouse. Tropical flowers and tomatoes are among the plants that are grown in greenhouses.
Even in the winter, a greenhouse keeps a comfortable temperature inside. Sunlight enters the greenhouse during the day and heats the air and plants within. Even when it gets cooler outside at night, the greenhouse remains rather warm.
