WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT?
The term “greenhouse effect” is mentioned a lot when we talk about climate change. But what exactly does it mean?
In short: it is the natural process that warms the Earth’s surface.
The process is called the greenhouse effect because the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the planet works in a similar way to a greenhouse.
Picture this: a greenhouse is so successful at growing plants year-round, even when it’s too cold outside for some plants to typically thrive. How? Because the air inside the greenhouse naturally stays warmer than the air outside.
A greenhouse is constructed of glass, allowing sunlight to penetrate the exterior and warm the air and plants inside. The heat that isn’t absorbed by plants is trapped by the glass and can’t escape. Throughout daylight hours, sunlight keeps coming through the glass, adding more and more heat energy so the inside gets warmer and warmer (and continues to stay warm after the sun sets).
The Earth and the Sun work in a similar fashion (on a much more massive scale and a different physical process). The sun shines through the Earth’s atmosphere and the earth’s surface warms up. Some of the Sun’s energy is reflected directly back to space, the rest is absorbed by land, ocean, and the atmosphere. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from Earth toward space

methane and carbon dioxide are the two greenhouse gases....and the green house leads to global warming ... so that rains won't fall ..and the ozone also get damage... and it effects more on the environment.....hope helps you...
