GREEN HOUSE EFFECT


Gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, including water vapor, allow heat energy from the sun to pass through to the land and oceans. Heat energy radiating from the earth’s surface is absorbed by these gases (known as Green House gases) and is radiated back to earth instead of escaping into space. Thus this causes rise in earth’s temperature causing global warming.


Green House gases are Carbon Dioxide, Chlorofluro carbons (CFC), methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and water vapor.
