Like a glass house - so sunlight can get in.
Greenhouse gases get their nickname because, like the glass walls of a greenhouse, they allow sunlight to enter and warm the Earth's surface. However, they also trap some of the heat energy from the sun, leading to an overall warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
Like in a greenhouse, greenhouse gasses let radiation from the sun reach Earth (the 'inside' of the greenhouse) but won't let the Earth reflect radiation. This is exactly what greenhouses do. Through the glass walls, the sunlight can come in, but once the rays are inside, the heat is trapped. That causes (intentional) temperature rise in the greenhouse. These gasses also (most likely) cause a temperature rise on Earth.
Actually, the increase in greenery and oxygen levels is a result of photosynthesis, where plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. The greenhouse effect, on the other hand, refers to the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.
A greenhouse uses solar energy by allowing sunlight to enter through its transparent walls and roof. This sunlight is then absorbed by plants, soil, and structures inside the greenhouse, providing warmth and energy for photosynthesis. The greenhouse traps this solar energy to create a warm and controlled environment for growing plants.
The greenhouse effect is called that becouse the earth naturally acts like a greenhouse but with the gases (like CO2) going up into the air, the barrier around the earth that acts like a greenhouse, makes the barrier stronger and that makes the earth get more warmer. So...The more greenhouse gases we produce the warmer the earths temperture would be
The inside of a car can get hotter than the outdoor temperature on a summer day due to the greenhouse effect. Sunlight enters the car through the windows, heats up surfaces inside the car, and the heat gets trapped because it cannot easily escape, causing the temperature to rise.
Earth's atmosphere acts like a greenhouse by trapping heat from the sun and warming the planet. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, allow sunlight to pass through to heat the Earth's surface, but trap some of the heat as it radiates back towards space. This natural greenhouse effect is crucial for maintaining Earth's temperature suitable for life.
A greenhouse traps the heat inside it so that the temperature inside is hotter than the outside. Sunlight can pass through the panes of the greenhouse to warm and allow photosynthesis, yet it prevents the escape of heat from the greenhouse. Greenhouse Effect references that phenomenon. Greenhouse Gases are the gases that have the similar ability of trapping heat from sun's radiation. Gases include NOx, CO2, CO and the like. Such gases let sunshine pass through but retain and absorb the heat radiated by the earth. It makes the earth hotter due to the trapped heat (greenhouse effect).
The gas from the volcanoes are like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, which are greenhouse gases. They thicken the atmosphere and trap sunlight which heats up the earth
Sunlight that travels from the sun, through the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the Earth will heat up the Earth, including the atmosphere.Carbon Dioxide then will act like a blanket to all this heat, keeping it from being expelled out of Earth's atmosphere and into space.That is the effect a greenhouse has with moderating the temperature for the incumbent vegetation.
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
