No.

A gross example is Venus, which has a runaway greenhouse effect. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead.

When did the Greenhouse effect start?

The Greenhouse effect started long before humans were on Earth. The Greenhouse effect is only intensified by the presence of humans.


Do inner planets have greenhouse effect?

Only Venus and Earth have a greenhouse effect because they have a substantial atmosphere. Venus actually has a runaway greenhouse effect causing its surface temperatures to rise to 450 Celsius.


Why is photosynthesis the only process that can combat the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect does not have to be combatted, as it usefully keeps the earth warm. But we have to stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The only process that can combat the enhanced greenhouse effect is photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


What planet has more greenhouse effect?

Venus. Similar to Earth in many ways, a runaway greenhouse effect is thought responsible for its 900°F (480°C) surface temperature.


What contributes to maintaining the temperature on Earth?

The greenhouse effect maintains the temperature on earth as it has done for millions of years. The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming has only been happening for the past 200 years.


Why is the greenhouse effect caused by earth's carbon etc?

The greenhouse effect may increase on Earth because of the continuous burning of fossil fuels. These fossil fuels not only release toxic gases but also carbon dioxide, which traps the suns heat in the atmosphere.


How does the natural greenhouse effect allow life to exist?

Natural greenhouse effect maintain the temperature of earth in night because if it will not so there will have too cold at night.carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere allows the light to come in earth surface and it allows only 10% of the light to escape out into space.


Does the greenhouse effect only effect the Venus?

No. That's what global warming is caused by.


The greenhouse effect is affecting which planets?

Earth, Mars and Venus. The greenhouse effect is affecting planet Earth. Additionally, Venus is a perfect example of what can happen if there is too much carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses in an atmosphere. Even though it only receives a quarter of the energy from the Sun compared to Mercury, its maximum temperature is greater, making it the hottest planet in the system. The coolest point on the planet has temperatures of 380º C, or 716º F. And again, this is all due to a runaway greenhouse effect.


How do some people reduce the greenhouse effect?

The only way to reduce the greenhouse effect is to actually remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The only way to do this is to plant trees. Trees remove carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Some people plant trees to reduce the greenhouse effect.


What is the beneficial effect of the greenhouse gas?

If it weren't for the Greenhouse Effect, the Earth would be very cold. But it is only good to a certain point. We humans are throwing high levels of greenhouse gases into the air that is causing what we have labeled Global Warming.


How do people stop the greenhouse effect?

We can't stop the natural greenhouse effect, and we don't want to! Without the natural greenhouse effect, temperatures on the Earth's surface would be far too cold for humans to survive.However, the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming can only be stopped by changing to renewable energy (solar, wind, water, hydro, tidal and wave, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass, and biofuel) and stopping burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
