Greenhouses are often referred to as glass houses because they traditionally use glass panels to allow sunlight to enter while trapping heat, creating a controlled environment for plant growth. The term emphasizes the transparent nature of the structure, which is essential for maximizing light exposure. Although modern greenhouses may utilize materials like plastic, the term "glass house" persists due to historical usage and the iconic design associated with glass.

What happens when light is shone on a thin piece of glass?
Well, quite a lot takes place when light is shone on a piece of glass. This has a lot to do with the surface of the glass (how clean it might be), and also with the structure of the glass itself. The light will tend to scatter off the glass -if the glass itself is reflective, or if there are particles on the surface which are reflective. It will also diffract through the glass, causing the light to bend. This is similar to the way that light diffracts through water, but to a MUCH smaller degree if the glass is uniform, thin, and smooth. The glass may also warm slightly, based on the intensity and angle of the light incident on the glass. There are also several other effects, but I hope that this has covered what you wanted to know.

Greenhouses primarily rely on convection to transfer heat.

Additional heat can also be transferred through conduction from the glass panels.
