The natural greenhouse effect has been keeping the earth warm for millions of years, allowing life to thrive on this planet.
The enhanced or accelerated greenhouse effect, which is what is happening now, is causing global warming and may mean the end of life on earth if we can't slow or stop it.
What else can I help you with?
How is the earth's greenhouse effect good for the earth?
The normal, natural greenhouse effect is good for the earth. The earth's carbon and water cycles move carbon dioxide and water vapour in and out of the atmosphere. This supports the greenhouse effect which keeps the earth warm (about 13 degrees Celsius on average) and has done for millions of years. If there was no greenhouse effect we would all freeze to death.The accelerated greenhouse effect is what is happening now because of all the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere because we burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for industry, transport and to generate electricity. And also because we have cut down so many trees that used to soak the carbon out of the air. This is causing unbalance to the earth's carbon cycle and is causing global warming and climate change. So the enhanced, or accelerated, greenhouse effect is bad for the earth.
Why is the sun so important to us on earth?
The sun is so important to us on Earth because it provides us with light and heat. There would be no life on Earth if it wasn't for the sun. The Earth would be a big frozen rock.
Which planet is called the green planet?
Earth and mercery have atmospheres so there greenhouse planets
Are longer days a result of the greenhouse effect?
No, the greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm, but it has no effect on the length of days. Days are longer in summer because your hemisphere is tilted towards the sun and so gets more hours of daylight.
If there were no greenhouse effect earth's surface would?
Without any of the greenhouse gases that help keep the earth warm, global average temperatures would be some thirty degrees colder. Heat would be lost rapidly at night, making life on earth, as we know it, impossible. So greenhouse gases are necessary for human life and a comfortable existence.Then there would be no global warming.Geo-Climactic Stasis.The world would be an ice planet.Basically, we'd be very much like the moon. At night, we'd experience about -200 C Temperatures, and in the day, we'd have about 500 C. Humans could not exist under such drastic temperature changes.
Should the earth always had a greenhouse effect?
The earth has always had the greenhouse effect. It is what stops us from freezing so far away from the sun.

Where did the term greenhouse come from?
Rather like a greenhouse (glasshouse) which retains heat allowing warmer conditions (for growing tomatoes in Canada), so the greenhouse effect retains heat in the atmosphere, allowing warmer conditions suitable for life on earth for many millions of years.
Why is the sun important to seasons?
so the earth does not have another ice-age and kill all life on earth
Does the greenhouse effect occur on the moon or the earth?
The greenhouse effect comes about when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat rising from the surface of the planet. As the moon has no atmosphere, it could not have a greenhouse effect. So the answer is: The earth.
Why is algae so important to life on Earth?
Because it produces oxygen for the world
Why is the sun so important to us on earth?
The sun is so important to us on Earth because it provides us with light and heat. There would be no life on Earth if it wasn't for the sun. The Earth would be a big frozen rock.
Why is the trposphere so important to Earth?
The troposphere is important to Earth because it is where weather and climate phenomena occur. It contains the air we breathe and plays a key role in regulating the planet's temperature through the greenhouse effect. Additionally, the troposphere is where most of the Earth's atmospheric mass is concentrated.
What do greenhouse gases do with the heat released from earth in the form of infra-red radiation?
Greenhouse gases absorb and retain the heat rising from the earth. As greenhouse gases are increasing, so is the temperature of the earth. This is causing global warming and climate change.This heat is released during the cooler periods of the day which, in turn allow life to exist on the planet. The heat is not indefinitely retained, but part of the natural process.
How does the natural greenhouse effect allow life to exist?
Natural greenhouse effect maintain the temperature of earth in night because if it will not so there will have too cold at night.carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere allows the light to come in earth surface and it allows only 10% of the light to escape out into space.
Why is earth so important?
Because earth is the only planet that has life on it if it weren't for earth there would be no such thing as humans and animals and plants and school and you.
Which planet is called the green planet?
Earth and mercery have atmospheres so there greenhouse planets
