What similarities do the greenhouse and greenhouse effect have?

Answer 1

It's not similar except in the end result of warming the system up due to sunlight input.!

The popular view is that the atmosphere has some sort of layer of carbon dioxide "up there" that reflects heat back down to Earth rather than letting it escape to space. That would be like the glass on a greenhouse trapping warm air in while letting the sunlight through to increase the heat. In a greenhouse the sunlight warms the benches and floor, the warm objects heat the air, the air is trapped by the double layer of insulating glass.

It does not happen that way in the atmosphere.

Sunlight comes in and warms the Earth's surface. It warms the gases in the air too, at least some of them with a bond size that gets excited by sunlight. These special gases are greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and a few others). They are mixed evenly through all of the atmosphere (not in layer). When the gases are warm they share their heat with all their gas molecule neighbours and heat the atmosphere generally.

The effect is more like wet sand in a microwave. Microwaves do not heat sand. They do heat water. When you microwave wet sand, the water heats up - might even turn to steam. The hot water warms the sand.

Answer 2

No. (Depletion of ) the ozone layer means that more UV-rays are reaching the earth's surface, making us humans more prone to sunburn and skin cancer. Green house effect meant that an increase of other gasses is acting like insulation, and keeping more of the Earth's heat in that would previously have been lost out to space.

Yes. The ozone layer provides a greehouse effect, since ozone is a greenouse gas. "Global warming" is not the same thing as "depletion of the ozone layer".

Answer 3

No.

The ozone layer is a greenhouse gas, that protects us from UV from our Sun, and absorbs some energy directly.

The greenhouse effect describes how visible light passes through the "greenhouse layer", is absorbed inside the layer, some of the energy is re-radiated as infrared, and the "greenhouse layer" scatters some of that radiation back inside... making the interior warmer than it otherwise would be.

Answer 4

Both the greenhouse and greenhouse effect involve trapping heat inside an enclosed space. Just as a greenhouse retains heat to create a warm environment for plants to grow, the greenhouse effect refers to the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by certain gases, leading to a warming effect on the planet.

Answer 5

Ozone depletion can cause global warming. The same is true for reverse too.
