Particulates in the atmosphere reflect solar radiation and prevent it reaching the earth. This has the effect of lowering the temperature of the earth. This happened seriously in the mid-20th Century, but was stopped by Clean Air Acts round the world. It also happens for a few days after a volcanic eruption.

How does the greenhouse effect affect the earths atmosphere?

The greenhouse effect causes the earth's atmosphere to hold in more heat radiation than it should. It is caused by envirormentally harmful chemicals entering the atmosphere, like carbon dioxcide. This ,in turn, causes the global temperature to increase global warming.
