    The greenhouse effect refers to gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide and methane, that absorb and re-emit infrared radiation from the Earth's surface, trapping heat and warming the planet in a similar way to the glass panels of a greenhouse. These greenhouse gases are emitted through activities like burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, industrial processes, deforestation, and their accumulation is enhancing the natural greenhouse effect and leading to global climate change. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through use of renewable energy, more efficient technologies, afforestation efforts, and limiting CFCs can help control the greenhouse effect.

    GREEN HOUSE EFFECT

    Why is it called greenhouse effect?

    • It’s called greenhouse effect because the atmosphere


    keeps the earth warm.
    • In the atmosphere however it is in the sheet of glass but
    gasses that absorb the radiation and re-emit it back to
    earth.

    The major green house gases
    • The gases with the properties of greenhouse are known
    as greenhouse gases.
    • They do not absorb the visible light from the sun but
    they do absorb the infrared light radiated by earth
    surface. These are called greenhouse gases.
    Sources of green house gases
    • Thermal power stations based on fossil fuels mainly coal
    and mineral oil.
    • Numerous factories and industrial chimney waste.
    • Automobiles
    • Deforestation and burning of fossil fuels.
    Control of green house effect
    • Alternate sources of energy are to be used.
    • Advanced and efficient technologies for reducing
    emission from fossil fuels.
    • Afforestation and reforestation on a large scale.
    • Reduction of the use of CFC.
