The greenhouse effect does not occur in space, it occurs within the Earth's atmosphere. Without the greenhouse effect, most living things would freeze to death.

Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
The trapping of heat by a planet's atmosphere is called what?
it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
How is the greenhouse effect affecting earth's energy balance?
The greenhouse effect prevents heat escaping into space. Increased greenhouse gas levels means that more heat is retained. This affects the balance by making the earth warmer.
What is the difference between the greenhouse effect and the hole in the ozone?
The greenhouse effect is some moderating gases (greenhouse gases) that allow energetic radiation to pass, but slow the passage of infrared to space. And molecule with three or more atoms is a greenhouse gas.The hole in the ozone is a natural repeating phenomenon. As the hole forms, more infrared is allowed to radiate to space, and the surface below the hole cools more.The greenhouse effect is some moderating gases (greenhouse gases) that allow energetic radiation to pass, but slow the passage of infrared to space.

What are the effects of the greenhouse effect on the human lives?
Water vapor and other gaes including carbon dioxide that are in our atmoshere trap some of the infra-red radiation that is being reflected out into space. This means that the earth surface loses less heat to space and thus warms up.
In which atmosphere does most of the greenhouse effect occur?
Most of the greenhouse effect occurs in the troposphere.
Where on earth besides in a greenhouse does the greenhouse effect occur?
In the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect refers to the situation in the atmosphere where gases hold on to the heat rising from the earth.
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
When does the greenhouse effect happen?
The greenhouse effect happens mostly at night, when heat is being radiated back into space.
When does greenhouse effect happen?
The greenhouse effect happens mostly at night, when heat is being radiated back into space.
Does the greenhouse effect only occur on earth?
No. A gross example is Venus, which has a runaway greenhouse effect. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead.
How does a greenhouse effect affect a planet?
A greenhouse effect traps heat that would otherwise escape out to space, so it keeps the planet warm.
Where does the greenhouse effect occur?
Over the entire earth. This is why it is known as global warming.
When did the enhanced greenhouse effect occur?
When we began to seriously burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) we released billions of tones of EXTRA carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This changed the natural greenhouse effect to an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect.
When does the greenhouse effect occur?
Carbon emissions are trapped beneath the o-zone layer.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?
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.
