Question

What is the greenhouse effect? Why it is named so?

Answer 1

Greenhouse effect:

1. It is the process that occurs when energy from the sun goes through the atmosphere and heats the planet but the atmosphere does not return the heat to space.
2. There are some gases in the environment like CO₂, and methane, which permit the sun's heat to enter the air however after reflection, these radiations can't move out of the climate due to these gasses.
3. This increases the temperature and is hence called the greenhouse effect.
4. It is useful in cold nations where the temperature is low and vegetation doesn't develop, heat is caught by glass which permits the sun's radiations to go into the glass yet can't escape from the glass.
5. These places are warm where plants develop and are called nurseries.
