Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes. Green house gases are radiatively active gases which allow the solar radiations to pass through but reflect back long wave heat radiations. Example Methane, CO2, H2O etc.

No the gases that surround the planet trap heat like a green house. We call this process the green house effect.


Are green house gases and a green house kind a the same thing?

Indeed they are acting alike. The glass in a green house allows light to enter but reduces the amount of heat that leaves. Green houses gasses in the atmosphere have the same effect on the planet in general.


Why is green house effect called green house effect?

Because the "greenhouse gases" act similarly to a greenhouse. The heat goes through the gases (glass panes) and is stored on Earth (greenhouse) and is unable to exit back into the atmosphere (sky). Google "greenhouse effect" and go look at the images, the pictures on the first page will help you to understand my analogy.

Why are green house gases causing a problem?

Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.


What is the difference between green house gases and enhanced green house gases?

the greenhouse effect is the natural cant be controlled process, but the enhanced is man-made stuff, like fossil fuel burning and it's way higher than it should be. love, friend =)
