The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere. Radiatively active gases in a planet's atmosphere radiate energy in all directions

❄ 'Green House Effect' is a naturally occurring phenomenon, that is responsible for heating of the Earth's surface and atmosphere.
- When sunlight reaches the outer most layer of the atmosphere, it absorbs some radiation.
- About ¼ of solar radiation is reflected back by clouds and gases and only half of the incoming solar radiation reaches the earth surface and earth gets heated.
- Then a small portion of heat is reflected back into the atmosphere.Due to the presence of green house gases and methane a major part of the radiation again reflects back to the earth surface.
- Due to this, earth surface heats up once again. This phenomenon is called Green House Effect.
