greenhouse effect
The effect that occurs when solar radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then re-radiated into the atmosphere, where it gets trapped, is known as the greenhouse effect. This process involves greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation, which warms the atmosphere and the Earth's surface. While this natural phenomenon is essential for maintaining a habitable climate, human activities have intensified the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming and climate change.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas because it absorbs and traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, some of the heat is reflected back into space as infrared radiation. CO2 molecules in the atmosphere absorb this infrared radiation, preventing it from escaping into space and thus leading to a warming effect.
The Earth's atmosphere traps heat through a process called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat radiating from the Earth's surface, keeping the planet warm enough to support life. However, human activities have increased the concentration of these gases, leading to enhanced warming known as global warming.
one pro is that it helps regulate earths temperature, but with fossil fuals which emites greenhouse gases it makes earth get hotter. and that's how you get global warming.
greenhouse effect
The gradual warming of earths surface is called global warming.
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
An unnatural warming of the atmosphere near Earth's surface is called global warming or anthropogenic climate change. This phenomenon is primarily caused by human activities that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.

It is not, because the greenhouse affect causes global warming.
what involves both chemical and physical change on earths surface
We call it the greenhouse effect, which is natural, or the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
This is known as the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb and trap heat from the sun, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface. This phenomenon is essential for maintaining Earth's temperature but human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, have increased the concentration of these gases and intensified the greenhouse effect, causing global warming.
