What is the ‘greenhouse effect’? State its importance for us.
The sun’s rays warm the surface of the earth. A part of the radiation which falls on the earth is reflected back into space and only a part of it is absorbed. This trapped radiation further warms the earth. The trapping of radiation by the earth’s atmosphere is known as the Greenhouse effect.
Life would not have been possible without this process. Carbon dioxide is one of the gases responsible for this effect. Some other gases like methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapors also contribute to this process.
