Before we dig deep into the causes of greenhouse effect, it is important for us to know what is greenhouse effect. You must have heard of greenhouse effect during any debate on global warming. 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.

Greenhouse Effect➫ The warming effect of the sun on greenhouse gases like Carbon dioxide that act to trap this heat in our atmosphere.
Ex:- Global Warming
♦ It is one of the main factors determining the temperature of a planet.
♦ It act like a blanket by absorbing IR radiation & preventing it from escaping into outer space.
➧ Types 0f Greenhouse Gases are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ 0zone
❱ Methane
❱ Nitrous oxide
❱ Carbon dioxide
❱ Chlorofluorocarbons
❱ Hydrofluorocarbons
➧ Causes 0f Greenhouse Effect are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Burning of Fossils Fuel like - Coal.
❱ Trapping of energy in the lower atmosphere.
❱ The chemical composition of the atmosphere.
❱ The total energy influx from the sun which depends on the earth's distance from the sun & on solar activity.
➧ Importance 0f Greenhouse Effect are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ It maintain the water level of the earth's surface.
It keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life.
❱ It prevents the melting of ice & restricts the polar caps to the polar regions only.
➧ Effects 0f Greenhouse Effect are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Skin disease.
❱ Rise in sea level.
❱ Climate Change.
❱ Increase in earth's temperature.
➧ The ways to reduce Greenhouse Effect are:-
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=⤵
❱ Reduce, Reuse & Recycle.
❱ Use Less Heat & Air Conditioning.
❱ Replace Your Light Bulbs.
❱ Drive Less & Drive Smart.
❱ Buy Energy-Efficient Products.
❱ Use Less Hot Water.
❱ Use the "Off" Switch.
❱ Plant a Tree.
