the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
Human activities which are widely responsible for the increase in the carbon dioxide content present in the air are :
(i) Burning of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum.
(ii) Industrialisation resulting in the release of unwanted and harmful gases into the atmosphere.
(iii) Deforestation, due to which the utilisation of atmospheric CO2 during photosynthesis is reduced to a great extent because of the reduction in the number of plants.
