The planet(s) through solar radiation and the retention of a small portion of this heat through atmospheric gases.
The greenhouse effect is caused by the warming of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mostly water vapor and carbon dioxide. This is a natural effect that has gone on for millions of years.
The enhanced greenhouse effect, what we are experiencing now, is caused by the warming of the extra greenhouse gases that man is adding to the atmosphere, largely by burning fossil fuels, and by deforestation.
What else can I help you with?
Does the greenhouse effect only effect the Venus?
No. That's what global warming is caused by.
What environmental issue is related to the greenhouse effect?
Global Warming... Global Warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide being trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. AKA the greenhouse effect.
What type of global warming is it?
The dangerous type caused by the enhanced greenhouse effect.
Does global warming and holes in the ozone layer share the same effect?
Yes they do share the same effect. Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases block the temperature to troposphere. Thus heat cannot escape to Stratosphere.No
What is the The warming of earth caused by atmosphere trapping thermal energy from the sun called?
greenhouse effect
The warming caused when air traps some of the sun's energy is called?
This has been dubbed "the greenhouse effect" (even though it is not related to how a greenhouse operates). The greenhouse effect is your friend - this would be a cold, dead planet otherwise. Of course, you get global warming if you introduce higher quantities of gasses that are better at "greenhousing" than the atmosphere you're adding them to.
What effect is warming the atmosphere?
The Greenhouse Effect.
Could the greenhouse effect occur on other planets?
The greenhouse effect is happening on any planet with greenhouse gas. Mars, as an example has greenhouse gases in it's atmosphere and has seen warming over the past hundred years similar to our warming trend. Venus, with an atmosphere of 96.5% carbon dioxide, has a runaway greenhouse effect which has caused the oceans to boil dry.
What are the two types of greenhouse effect?
The natural greenhouse effect keeps the earth warm enough for life.The enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect (caused by burning fossil fuels and deforestation) leads to global warming and climate change.(There is also the very dangerous runaway greenhouse effect that happened on Venus.)
What major green house gas causes globel warming?
major greenhouse effect is caused by carbon dioxide
Is the greenhouse effect really responsible for global warming?
Yes, the greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which has existed here for trillions of years and protected the earth from global freezing like the ice age. But increases in greenhouse gases mostly carbon dioxide caused by man's burning of fossil fuels is causing an enhanced, or accelerated greenhouse effect which is responsible for global warming.
Is global warming another term for the greenhouse effect?
No. The greenhouse effect is the process by which certain gasses, called greenhouse gasses, help to trap heat within Earth's atmosphere. This effect has been in place for as long as Earth has had an atmosphere and is necessary for life to exist. Without it, the planet would freeze over. Global warming is primarily the result of an enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by extra geenhouse gasses entering the atmosphere.
