Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is the process by which heat is trapped close to Earth's surface by "greenhouse gases." These heat-trapping gases can be likened to a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet warmer than it would be without them. The primary gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include naturally occurring carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor, as well as synthetic fluorinated gases. Greenhouse gases possess different chemical properties and are removed from the atmosphere over time by various processes.
 
Major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions include factories, automobiles, and deforestation. The increased number of factories and automobiles elevates the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases prevent the escape of radiation from Earth, leading to a rise in the planet's surface temperature and subsequently causing global warming.
 
Earth's most abundant greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, Chloro Fluoro Carbons (CFCs), and water vapor, are present near the Earth's surface. They absorb solar energy radiated back from the Earth's surface, resulting in the heating of the atmosphere. Therefore, greenhouse gases play a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's temperature, essential for sustaining life.

In the absence of greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth would decrease drastically, rendering it uninhabitable. Consequently, life on Earth would become impossible.

The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon where heat is trapped near Earth's surface by certain gases, acting like a blanket and keeping the planet warmer. Key greenhouse gases include naturally occurring carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor, along with synthetic fluorinated gases. These gases are gradually removed from the atmosphere through various processes.

Major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions are factories, automobiles, and deforestation, intensifying atmospheric concentrations. Greenhouse gases impede the escape of radiation, leading to increased surface temperatures and global warming. Essential gases like carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, CFCs, and water vapor, found near the Earth's surface, absorb solar energy, heating the atmosphere and maintaining the planet's temperature necessary for life.

The absence of greenhouse gases would result in a drastic decrease in Earth's average temperature, rendering it uninhabitable and making life impossible.
