The greenhouse effect is similar to blankets on a bed in that both trap heat and help maintain warmth. Just as blankets prevent body heat from escaping into the cooler air, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the Earth's surface, preventing it from escaping into space. This insulation effect keeps the Earth warm enough to support life, much like blankets keep us cozy during colder nights. However, too many blankets or excessive greenhouse gases can lead to overheating.
What else can I help you with?
Does Venus' or Mars have a greater greenhouse effect?
Yes - the atmosphere of Venus is 90 times more dense than that on Earth and it is made of 96.5% of CO2 and a 3% of nitrogen. Interestingly there is almost no water in the atmosphere of Venus. Because water vapor is a lighter gas than CO2, water vapor and other lighter gases would tend to rise and be swept away by the solar wind. By comparison, the atmosphere of earth is about 70% nitrogen, 29% oxygen and 1% other gases like argon, water vapor, helium, nitrogen, and a smidgen of CO2 (about 0.04%). On earth, most of the greenhouse effect is due to water vapor. Water vapor causes between 36% and 66% of the greenhouse effect on Earth for clear sky conditions and between 66% and 85% when including clouds - depending on how cloudy an area is. The rest of the greenhouse effect is attributed to methane, CO2, nitrous oxide, and CFCs. Because of the denser atmosphere and the chemical composition Venus experiences an intense green-house effect that raises the temperature over the surface to more than 470ºC. Clouds are common on Earth but they completely cover Venus' atmosphere. They are made of sulfuric acid droplets at 50-70 km above the surface and at temperatures comparable to Earth's surface temperatures. Once solar energy penetrates the clouds, they act like a blanket to keep the heat in. You see the same phenomena on earth where cloudy winter nights tend to be warmer than winter nights with clear skies. The denser atmosphere of Venus also adds to the greenhouse effect there. The added density is like throwing on more blankets to keep you warm in bed. The more blankets you have, the less heat can escape.
