Greenhouse effect:

1. The process that occurs when the energy from the sun enters the Earth's atmosphere and increases the Earth's temperature, but the atmosphere prevents the heat to return into the space resulting in making the planet warmer is called the greenhouse effect.
2. It is due to the presence of carbon dioxide, water vapours, methane and other gases in the atmosphere.
3. Thus, the gases present in the atmosphere cover the Earth's atmosphere resulting in the blanketing effect.
