Extra information: A greenhouse is generally a glass house that is often used for growing plants in controlled conditions. It is known as a greenhouse because the heat entering the glasshouse becomes trapped inside it due to the presence of glass and thus maintains the warmth inside the glasshouse.
Such houses are used in lower-temperature regions to cultivate plants in a controlled environment. Greenhouses can also possess controllers like temperature, moisture, and light as per requirements to maintain optimum conditions for plants to grow.
Medicinal plants, flowers, and other high-value crops can be grown in a controlled environment in a greenhouse. Crops grown in a greenhouse are healthier and do better. The way a greenhouse is built depends on where it is and how far north or south it is.
Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and water vapour are some greenhouse gases. The increase in the temperature of the surroundings due to the greenhouse effect is responsible for global warming. Gases like Carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, water vapour, etc. Carbon dioxide does not allow heat to escape back into the atmosphere causing global warming.]
