Greenhouse gases absorb heat rising from the suface of the earth. The more greenhouse gases there are, the more heat is absorbed. This is what is happening now. By burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), we are adding extra carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and this is causing global warming.

Is earth the only place in your solar system where greenhouse gases affect the temperature?

Greenhouse gases also affect the temperature on other planets in our solar system, such as Venus and Mars. Venus experiences an extreme greenhouse effect, which has led to its surface temperature being much hotter than Mercury, despite being further from the Sun. Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, but its greenhouse effect is weaker compared to Earth.
