Greenhouse gasses such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane act to slow down the escape of infrared radiation from the atmosphere. It is this trapped radiation that warms up the planet.

What does the greenhouse do to the gases from the atmosphere?
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
Do greenhouse gases thicken the air?
Not really, it thickens the Atmosphere though. However, since the atmosphere is mostly made up of oxygen and nitrogen, the effects of the greenhouse gases mostly stick to trapping heat.
How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What are some effects of the greenhouse effect?
There is a greenhouse effect on Earth because three-atomed gases in the atmosphere retain heat and ensure that the earth stays warm. Other examples of a greenhouse effect are the atmospheres of Venus and Mars. Mercury has an atmosphere but has no greenhouse effect, as the main gases (hydrogen, helium and oxygen) are not greenhouse gases. So Mercury is a non-example of the greenhouse effect. The moon is also a non-example, as it has no atmosphere at all.
What contains the greenhouse gases?
Our Atmosphere.
Which part of the greenhouse represents greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
The glass
What do greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain?
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
Name two greenhouse gases in your atmosphere?
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
Can greenhouse gases be turned into fertilizer?
No, they are gases that enter the atmosphere.
What greenhouse gases do in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?
The Greenhouse Effect. It happens when Greenhouse Gases (CO2) thicken the atmosphere and trap heat.
What heat is caused by the greenhouse effect?
Global warming in the atmosphere is the heat caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases produced by industrial factories are the main causes of greenhouse effects.
