Explanation:
The greenhouse effect is primarily a function of the concentration of water vapor, CO2, and other trace gases in the atmosphere that absorb the terrestrial radiation leaving the surface of the Earth, and act like a blanket over the earth's surface, keeping it warmer than it would otherwise be.

The greenhouse effect is the heating of the Earth's surface up to the troposphere.
Explanation:
- It occurs as a result of increased levels of carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane, and other gases.
- Sunlight heats the Earth's surface, and the energy is then reflected back into space as infrared radiation.
- The greenhouse effect occurs when concentrated gases absorb energy, causing the global temperature to rise.
- As a result, the greenhouse effect and global warming are linked.
