The greenhouse effect is caused by the interaction of the sun's energy with greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and nitrous oxide in the Earth's atmosphere. The ability of these gases to trap heat is what causes the greenhouse effect
I want an EXPLANATION of this paragraph about what causes the greenhouse effect
PLEASE HELP SOON

The light that we get from the sun helps to keep this planet warm. Of the 100% light that sun sends to earth, almost 30% sunlight is reflected back into the space by clouds, ice, snow, sand and other reflective surfaces, according to NASA. Only about 70% of the sunlight is absorbed by the oceans, the land and the atmosphere. The sunlight that falls on the Earth’s surface is used for different purposes. It can be used to produce solar energy, drying clothes, or by plants in the process of photosynthesis.
The Earth’s surface warms up during the day and cools down at night, releasing the heat in the form of infrared radiation IR out of the atmosphere into space. But before all these infrared radiation can escape out of the atmosphere into the space, they are absorbed by greenhouse gases (GHG’s) present in the atmosphere. The absorption of these radiations by greenhouse gases makes it possible to keep this planet warm for humans. Without Greenhouse effect, the temperature of this planet would be lesser by 30 degree Celsius and this would be too cold for us to survive.

Answer
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
