Like a glass house - so sunlight can get in.
Green. Unless you mean 'a greenhouse' in which case it is mostly glass.
The glass on the greenhouse stops temperature from leaving or entering like the gases do to the earth.The atmospheric gases are called 'greenhouse gases' based on the idea that the gases 'trap' heat like the walls of a greenhouse do
Humorous answer: greenhouse gasses Correct Answer: Carbon dioxide, just like when outside and not in a greenhouse.
Greenhouse gases must have three atoms, so gases like hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) are not greenhouse gases.
The glass or plastic walls of a greenhouse represent greenhouse gases in the atmosphere by trapping heat energy inside, much like how greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat.
Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere by absorbing and re-emitting infrared radiation. This process leads to the greenhouse effect, which can contribute to global warming and climate change.
it's not
Because the "greenhouse gases" act similarly to a greenhouse. The heat goes through the gases (glass panes) and is stored on Earth (greenhouse) and is unable to exit back into the atmosphere (sky). Google "greenhouse effect" and go look at the images, the pictures on the first page will help you to understand my analogy.
Greenhouse gases get their nickname because, like the glass walls of a greenhouse, they allow sunlight to enter and warm the Earth's surface. However, they also trap some of the heat energy from the sun, leading to an overall warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is called that becouse the earth naturally acts like a greenhouse but with the gases (like CO2) going up into the air, the barrier around the earth that acts like a greenhouse, makes the barrier stronger and that makes the earth get more warmer. So...The more greenhouse gases we produce the warmer the earths temperture would be
Oxygen itself is not a greenhouse gas. It is a crucial component of the atmosphere and supports life on Earth. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the greenhouse effect and contributing to global warming.
