Green house effects
GREENHOUSE EFFECT WHAT IS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT? In short: it is the natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that heats the globe is termed as the "greenhouse effect" because it functions similarly to a greenhouse Imagine that a greenhouse can successfully grow plants all year long, even when the weather outside is too cold for some of them to do so. How? as a result of the greenhouse's inherently warmer interior than its outside A greenhouse's glass construction lets sunshine enter from the outside, warming the air and plants inside. The glass prevents the heat from escaping that is not absorbed by the plants. The interior becomes increasingly warmer throughout the day as more and more heat energy is added by sunlight passing through the glass (and remains warm even after the sun has set). The Sun and the Earth both function in a similar way (on a much more massive scale and a different physical process). The ...
