Generation

The greenhouse effect is how certain gases in Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, similar to how a greenhouse's glass keeps plants warm. Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms Earth's surface, which then radiates heat back as infrared radiation. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor absorb this infrared radiation and re-emit it in all directions, preventing much of it from escaping to space and keeping our planet warm enough to support life. Without this natural process, Earth would be about 33°C (60°F) colder, but too much of these gases from human activities intensifies the effect and causes global warming.
