The scale is the most limiting factor in comparing the Earth's atmosphere to that of a greenhouse. The type of surface that sunlight first encounters is an important factor. Forests, grasslands, ocean surfaces, ice caps, deserts, and cities all absorb, reflect, and radiate radiation differently. Sunlight falling on a white glacier surface strongly reflects back into space, resulting in minimal heating of the surface and lower atmosphere. Sunlight falling on a dark desert soil is strongly absorbed, on the other hand, and contributes to significant heating of the surface and lower atmosphere. Cloud cover also affects greenhouse warming by both reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the earth's surface and by reducing the amount of radiation energy emitted into space.

greenhouse effect
The Earth's atmosphere has changed over time due to various factors such as volcanic activity, changes in greenhouse gas concentrations, and natural variations in solar radiation. Human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have also significantly impacted the composition of the atmosphere, leading to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and global warming.
Greenhouse gases
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.

greenhouse effect
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
It is not, because the greenhouse affect causes global warming.

Greenhouse gases
The greenhouse effect is when gases get trapped inside the earths atmosphere and cannot get out so the sun heats them up and the earth gets warmer. just like a greenhouse
