define green house effect ? state its consequence .any one

The greenhouse effect increases the temperature of the Earth by trapping heat in our atmosphere. This keeps the temperature of the Earth higher than it would be if direct heating by the Sun was the only source of warming.1 When sunlight reaches the surface of the Earth, some of it is absorbed which warms the ground and some bounces back to space as heat. Greenhouse gasesthat are in the atmosphere absorb and then redirect some of this heat back towards the Earth.2
The greenhouse effect is a major factor in keeping the Earth warm because it keeps some of the planet's heat that would otherwise escape from the atmosphere out to space. In fact, without the greenhouse effect the Earth's average global temperature would be much colder and life on Earth as we know it would not be possible.3 The difference between the Earth's actual average temperature 14° C (57.2° F) and the expected effective temperature just with the Sun's radiation -19° C (-2.2° F) gives us the strength of the greenhouse effect, which is 33° C.2
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that is millions of years old. It plays a critical role in regulating the overall temperature of the Earth. The greenhouse effect was first discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1827, experimentally verified by John Tyndall in 1861, and quantified by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.4
The word green house comes from the house which was used early in cold countries for seed germination as in cold countries the amount of sunlight is not enough for seed germination.
Green house effect is the entering of solar radiation to pass in but prevent long wave heat radiation to pass out due to presence of solar gases. These gases allow the solar radiation to pass through but reflect back the long wave radiations back to earth , are called green house effect.
Carbon dioxide , chroro - floro carbon and nitrogen oxide are green house gases which are mostly produced by industries ,factories and by automobile's exhaust.
Due to green house effect the temperature of the surface of earth , on its immediate atmosphere rises and this phenomenon is called global warming.
Global warming leads to melting of glaciers , occurence of diseases , adverse effect on plant yields.
So we need to reduce the use of automobiles and we should stop deforestation and start afforestation.
Save green , Go green
