Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing infrared radiation emitted from the Earth's surface. This process, known as the greenhouse effect, maintains the planet's temperature by preventing some of the heat from escaping back into space. While this effect is essential for sustaining life, an excess of greenhouse gases due to human activities leads to global warming and climate change. The increase in temperature disrupts weather patterns and affects ecosystems worldwide.
