How is the inside of a car on a sunny day related to the greenhouse effect?
Heat gets transferred from the window of the car into it. There is so much heat coming in that there is no way the car can keep up with the heat coming in. Trapping the heat. Same thing happens with the green house effect.A:The way a greenhouse works is that the transparent glass is transparent to the wavelengths of the sunlight coming through it, but is not very transparent to the wavelengths of energy trying to radiate back through it. Since we do not see in those wavelengths, the glass looks transparent to us. That is true of a greenhouse where plants are being grown as well as a car with its glass windows. The sunlight coming through the windows pours through easily, but the hot interior of the car radiates the energy back out at a different wavelength where the glass is not transparent. Similarly the greenhouse effect keeps the sun's heat in our atmosphere, preventing it radiating out into space.

What is difference between transparent and translucent?
Transparency is defined as a quality an object has that allows light to pass through it and any objects on the opposite side can clearly be seen through through the transparent object. Translucent objects still allow light to pass through them, but the objects on the opposite side are not clearly visible. It could be likened to two pieces of glass. One is from a window and the other is frosted. The one piece from the window is transparent, and the frosted piece is translucent
