The sun's heat warm the Earth's surface. A part of the radiation that falls on the Earth is absorbed by it and a part of it is reflected back into space. A part of the reflected radiation is trapped by the atmosphere. The trapped radiations further warm the Earth. The Sun's heat is allowed to go in but not allowed to go out. The trapped heat warms the Green House. The trapping of the radiations by the Earth's atmosphere is similar. That is why it is called Green House Effect.
If the greenhouse effect did not exist, Earth would be much colder than it is now, with an average temperature of about -18°C (-0.4°F). This would make the planet uninhabitable for most forms of life. The greenhouse effect plays a critical role in trapping heat from the Sun and maintaining Earth's temperature within a range suitable for life.
The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.
greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is necessary because it helps regulate Earth's temperature by trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Without this natural process, the planet would be much colder, making it unsuitable for sustaining life as we know it.
The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
the greenhouse effect is a global phenomenon.
the green house effect
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere trap heat radiating from the planet's surface, leading to a warming effect.
The greenhouse effect keeps us all warm enough for life.The enhanced greenhouse effect causes global warming.

EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.
All life as it could not exist without the natural greenhouse effect which has kept the planet warm for millions of years.All life now is being affected by the enhanced greenhouse effect, which is caused by the extra greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere for the past 250 years, mostly by humans burning fossil fuels. This is leading to global warming, making the earth warmer, and this warming is causing climate change.
