The greenhouse effect is making the Earth warmer overall. This however is not apparent to the casual local observer as the changing weather patterns resulting from the same overall warming may make some areas warmer, some colder, some wetter and some drier.

What would happen to earths atmosphere without the greenhouse effect?

Without the greenhouse effect, Earth's atmosphere would be much colder, making the planet uninhabitable for most forms of life. The greenhouse effect helps trap heat from the sun, maintaining a stable temperature range that supports life as we know it.


Why is the greenhouse effect nessarcy?

The greenhouse effect is necessary because it helps regulate Earth's temperature by trapping heat from the sun in the atmosphere. Without this natural process, the planet would be much colder, making it unsuitable for sustaining life as we know it.


Without greenhouse gases would the Earth's surface be frozen over?

Yes-- without the Green House Effect, Earth's avg temperature would be 60 degrees F cooler, and our oceans would be frozen. You would freeze. The earth would be pretty well frozen over. The average surface temperature would be about -4 degrees Fahrenheit if there were no greenhouse effect.


How is the rainforest related to the greenhouse effect?

The rainforest makes clean air "eating" the carbon dixdode ( can't spell it) and making the greenhouse less dangerous but people are destroying the rainforest this makes the greenhouse more dangerous for us.


What is the natural greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere and how humans might be contributing to its effect?

Natural greenhouse effect is good because it keeps the Earth warm and habitable using natural greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Although when there is a "build-up" of these gases, the sun's energy (from sunlight) is trapped between the atmosphere and Earth's surface allowing energy to enter but making it extremely difficult to get out. Thus resulting in a warmer than normal Earth.

The Greenhouse Effect is making the earth what?

Greenhouse effect is making the earth hot as we all know that the whole greenhouse is covered with glass and glass traps the sun rays and heat in it and similar is the condition of the earth as it also traps the heat in it and this is the reason it is becoming hot and called as greenhouse effect.


What happens if we don't have green house effect?

If we didn't have a greenhouse effect, all of the heat that the earth radiates upwards would make it out into space - making the planet much less inhabitable and causing major temperature differences from sunlight and shade


Why does temperature rise?

The enhanced greenhouse effect is making air temperatures rise.


Which planet can get colder Venus or Mercury?

Although being closer to the sun, Mercury is the colder of the two planets. Venus's thick atmosphere allows for a greater greenhouse effect, trapping heat easily and retaining it for longer than Mercury can.

Why is it important for us to have a greenhouse effect on earth?

The greenhouse effect is what keeps the heat in after the light energy is converted to heat energy. If we did not have a greenhouse effect, life would no longer exist since the entire earth would be below freezing.


How is the earth's greenhouse effect good for the earth?

The normal, natural greenhouse effect is good for the earth. The earth's carbon and water cycles move carbon dioxide and water vapour in and out of the atmosphere. This supports the greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm (about 13 degrees Celsius on average) and has done for millions of years. If there was no greenhouse effect we would all freeze to death.The accelerated greenhouse effect is what is happening now because of all the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for industry, transport and to generate electricity. And also because we have cut down so many trees that used to soak the carbon out of the air. This is causing unbalance to the earth's carbon cycle and is causing global warming and climate change. So the enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is bad for the earth.


Give some useful applications of Greenhouse Effect?

well say the attmosphere was a blanket and the blanket had a hole in it. well the sunlight goes through that hole and the blanket closes the hole to were the sunlight cannot leave the attmosphere and that causes the greenhouse effect aka global warming


How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?

It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise


How can the greenhouse effect be controlled?

It can't, there is little we can do for a while now. we just need to stop making things worse.
