The green house effect. Heat is trapped inside the greenhouse.

Answer:

A greenhouse is a structure made with ceilings and walls of double layers of glass. The glass has two functions:

  • it allows sunlight to enter warming the floor and equipment in the greenhouse.
  • it allows heat to be retained in the greenhouse as there is a layer of insulating air between the two layers of glass

With this arrangement the heat comes in and cannot escape. As a result the interior of the greenhouse becomes warm from solar heat.

What process transfers light energy to chemical energy in a green house?

Photosynthesis, same as outside the green house. So why do we use green houses? The green house is used to raise the temperature so that the plants start growing and are not killed by cold. It does this is two ways, by constricting air flow and blocking infrared light. The major part of this is that outside the green house, when the soil absorbs solar energy and turns it into heat, the air will transport that energy away which cools the soil and the plants growing in it. In the green house the warm air is trapped. To some (small) extent glass will block ultraviolet and infrared rays more than visible light. This stops harmful UV rays from hitting the plants, and it traps the infrared heat emissions from the plants inside the green house. Actually there is less useful sun light energy reaching the leaves within a green house than if the plants were outside it (try sunbathing under glass) but better control of temperature and humidity allows the plant to grow better anyway.

Why are green house gases causing a problem?

Green House gases work by allowing the Sun's rays into the atmosphere, but don't let them back out. Green-house gases are gases like CO2, Methane and other traces of elements. A small amount is necessary to control the warmth of the overall planet, but if we get to much green-house gas, the planet could begin to warm, which it is. If this is due to green-house gases or not, there is much controversy to the matter.

What are green house gases and the green house effect?

Green house effect is keeping an area warm by allowing the solar radiations to pass in but preventing long wavelength heat waves to escape due to presence od radiatively active gases and glasspanes. Green house gases are radiatively active gases which allow the solar radiations to pass through but reflect back long wave heat radiations. Example Methane, CO2, H2O etc.
