Gases in the atmosphere prevent heat from escaping.
The greenhouse effect warms the gases in the atmosphere.
They slow the loss of heat
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat. We are continuing to add extra greenhouse gases (by burning fossil fuels) and this is causing the warming. The great forests that used to remove carbon dioxide (one of the greenhouse gases) from the atmosphere have been destroyed.
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
Our Atmosphere.
The glass
Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and retain infrared radiation (heat) from the surface of the earth.
When greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere then the temperature rises. Greenhouse gases capture heat rising from the surface of the earth and prevent it escaping to space.
two greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide and methane
No, they are gases that enter the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases keep the earth warm.Too much greenhouse gas is causing global warming.
