Question

effects of greenhouse gases​

Answer 1

Answer:

Excessive Greenhouse Gases Lead to Warming

Heat gets trapped inside the blanket of greenhouse gases and the Earth becomes too warm. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O), and methane (CH4), trap heat in the atmosphere. With higher-than-natural concentrations, they lead to unnatural warming.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Sunlight passes through the atmosphere. When it strikes surfaces or gases that can absorb it, heat is emitted. You can feel the effect directly by holding your hand over dark asphalt or your car’s hood on a warm, sunny day. The surface feels hot. It is re-emitting the energy it received from the sun.

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere behave in a similar way. They absorb heat energy rising from the Earth’s surface and re-emit some of that heat back down towards the ground. The effect is similar to how an actual greenhouse works, thus the name. Greenhouse gases act like the windows of a greenhouse, allowing light through but trapping heat inside.
