Best Answer

When you talk about the greenhouse affect we are referring to the increase in the temperature of the atmosphere as a result of heat from the sun being trapped by the layer of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is analogous to a greenhouse that traps heat inside with glass or some type of clear plastic.
