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.

How do greenhouse gases affect the earths atmosphere?
They slow the loss of heat
What substance traps heat from the earths in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases
How did earths atmosphere change?
Earths atmosphere has changed in a few ways. It contains more pollutants and carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
What is a natural phenomenon that maintains earths temperature range?
The greenhouse effect
Trapping of heat in the earths atmosphere by certain gases is known as the?
greenhouse effect

What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
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.
How can the greenhouse effect and greenhouse gases cause problems with earths energy budget?
Earth's energy budget has been balanced for thousands of years. The natural greenhouse effect allows enough heat in and out of the atmosphere to keep it warm enough for life. Additional greenhouse gases, which we are now adding to the atmosphere and causing problems with the budget and the earth is warming up. This warming is causing climate change.
Does carbon dioxide affect the earths atmosphere?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, adds to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This extra CO2 makes an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming .
