The greenhouse effect helps moderate Earth's temperatures by trapping heat in the atmosphere. When sunlight reaches the Earth's surface, some of it is absorbed and then re-radiated as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb this infrared radiation and re-emit it in all directions, including back towards the surface. This process keeps the planet warm enough to support life by maintaining a stable temperature range.
The greenhouse effect helps moderate Earth's temperatures by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Solar radiation from the sun warms the Earth's surface, and some of this heat is re-radiated back into space. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and re-emit some of this heat, preventing it from escaping entirely. This process maintains a stable temperature range that supports life on Earth.

Yes.
Earth has a moderate greenhouse effect, while Venus has a severe case, with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.

The greenhouse effect is the natural way that the Earth keeps warm. Too many extra greenhouse gases turn the greenhouse effect into an enhanced greenhouse effect. The enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is causing global warming.
That phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect, where gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in temperatures on the planet.
We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
greenhouse effect
The greenhouse effect is when gases get trapped inside the earths atmosphere and cannot get out so the sun heats them up and the earth gets warmer. just like a greenhouse
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.
greenhouse effect
Venus has the most pronounced greenhouse effect in our solar system. Its thick atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, which traps heat and creates a runaway greenhouse effect, resulting in extreme temperatures of up to 900°F (475°C) on the surface.
