The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases.

The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years.

The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.

What is the main objective of greenhouse effect?

The main objective of the greenhouse effect is to keep the earth warm. It has been doing this successfully for millions of years. Unfortunately we have caused an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.


What effect is warming the atmosphere?

The Greenhouse Effect.


Could the greenhouse effect occur on other planets?

The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas. Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend. Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.

Is the greenhouse effect really responsible for global warming?

Yes, the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which has existed here for trillions of years and protected the earth from global freezing like the ice age. But increases in greenhouse gases mostly carbon dioxide caused by man's burning of fossil fuels is causing an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is responsible for global warming.
