The green house effect is a not a part of atmosphere, but it is an effect which is produced in the atmosphere due to airpollution. The gases such as CO and other inert gases serves as an jacket layer which reflects the heat waves again in to earth which leads to increase in temprature and leads to several problems like seasonal variations and melting of icebergs in the polar reagions
Carbon dioxide constitutes about 0.04% of the total atmosphere. It is a greenhouse gas that uses greenhouse effect and radiative forcing to regulate the temperature on Earth's surface. It also plays a major role in carbon cycle.
The greenhouse effect contains two different components: the natural greenhouse effect, and the enhanced greenhouse effect that results from human activities and is the cause of global warming.Water vapour is the most plentiful greenhouse gas and is mainly responsible for the natural greenhouse effect that maintains the world at a comfortable temperature suitable for human existence. Carbon dioxide also plays an important part in this natural greenhouse effect.Carbon dioxide is mainly responsible for the enhanced greenhouse effect. In this case, water vapour plays only a minor part as an enhancer, because the atmospheric concentration of it will increase if the temperature rises for other reasons, then causing a further increase in temperatures.
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
Yes - and no. Carbon Dioxide occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It's a waste product of respiration. However - it's also a waste product of many industrial processes. Since humans are responsible for ALL industrial processes - WE are the ones causing a build-up of greenhouse gasses !
The greenhouse effect is a natural process that keeps the Earth warm. Without it, the earth would be unable to retain enough heat to sustain life.The enhanced greenhouse effect is caused by the all the extra greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane etc) that we put into the air from burning fossil fuels and agriculture (cattle belches). These all trap more heat and radiation from the sun than is normally required. The earth radiates infrared energy from the sunlight that reaches the surface which should escape off into space, but due to the enhanced greenhouse effect, this radiation is trapped. Therefore, the overall temperature of the globe rises.See this link below for a diagram:Global warming is the increase of the average temperature of the earths atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is caused by high concentrations of methane, co2 and water vapour in the earth's atmosphere . These gases occur naturally (natural greenhouse effect) however due to human activity (cars, burning fossil fuels, deforestation) more of these gases are released, and this enhances the greenhouse effect (so it is called the enhanced greenhouse effect.)
Natural warming is not a direct part of the greenhouse effect, but it is influenced by it. The greenhouse effect refers to the process by which greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the Earth's surface, leading to warming. Natural processes, such as volcanic eruptions and solar radiation variations, also contribute to Earth's climate, but the greenhouse effect primarily explains the current trend of anthropogenic climate change. Thus, while natural warming occurs, it interacts with the greenhouse effect in shaping the overall climate system.

No, greenhouse gases are part of the atmosphere, which is made up of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.039% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases including methane. Air also contains a variable amount of water vapor, on average around 1%.

The greenhouse effect involves the transfer of infrared radiation energy. Solar radiation passes through the Earth's atmosphere and warms the surface. The Earth then emits infrared radiation back towards the atmosphere, where greenhouse gases trap some of this energy, leading to a warming effect.
Fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources that can be burned to get energy. The Greenhouse Effect is, in part, the result of burning fossil fuels. In this example, fossil fuels would be a causative agent that creates an effect on the environment, specifically, the Earth's atmosphere.

In the greenhouse analogy for the atmosphere, the "glass" represents gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat. These greenhouse gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere but prevent some of the heat from escaping back into space, similar to how glass retains warmth inside a greenhouse. This effect is crucial for maintaining Earth's temperature and supporting life.
Water vapor is actually the most common greenhouse gas. However as it plays little part in global warming, and it doesn't stay long in the atmosphere (It is constantly falling as rain) it is not classed as a dangerous greenhouse gas. It contributes to the natural greenhouse effect which keeps the earth comfortably warm.Carbon dioxide is the Most common greenhouse gas that contributes most to the accelerated greenhouse effect and so to global warming.

The great sheets of frozen ice and snow in the Arctic and Antarctic regions act to reflect some of the sun's heat back into space, thus keeping the planet cooler. If all this ice and snow disappears the rate of Earth's warming would increase.
