The greenhouse effect is occurring due to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which trap heat from the sun. Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, have been the main contributors to the rise in these gases, leading to global warming and climate change.
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface.
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the presence of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun, leading to warming of the Earth's surface. Thus, the layer most responsible for the greenhouse effect is the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where most of the greenhouse gases are concentrated.
Most of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere.
