What is a Greenhouse Effect?

Introduction
The greenhouse effect is basically a natural cycle that offers us the creation of a stable environment. The greenhouse gas mechanism causes the surface of the Earth to warm. Some of the Sun's energy is reflected back to space, while the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases as it enters the Earth's atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect, as the names indicate, operates similarly to a greenhouse! A greenhouse is a structure with a transparent roof and glazed walls. Plants such as tomato and subtropical flowers are grown in greenhouses.

Even in the cold, a greenhouses maintains a comfortable temperature inside. Sunlight pours into the greenhouses during the day, warming the plants and air within. It becomes cooler outdoors at nightfall, but the greenhouses keep rather warm inside. This is due to the greenhouse's glass panels trapping the Sun's heat.

The Greenhouse Effect and the Global Warming
Our environment is constantly changing. Rises in ocean temperatures, increasing sea levels, short sustained prevalent reductions in snow and ice encompass, and adjustments in atmospheric and sea circulation and geographic weather systems, which impact rainfall patterns circumstances, have all been observed during the twentieth century. ​

Excess heat in the earth's climate owing to the increase of greenhouse gases in the environment causes these changes. Anthropogenic impacts such as fossil fuel combustion (coal, oil, and natural gas), farming, and land clearance are chiefly responsible for the increased greenhouse gas emissions.

As a result of these actions, the quantity of high-temperature carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases. An increasing greenhouse effect is compatible with the pattern of observed impacts on the natural and human systems. Volcanoes, the sun, and natural cycles aren't able to explain the time and magnitude of the natural variations.

What role does humanity have in the greenhouse effect?
The natural greenhouse effect of the Earth is being altered by human activity. When fossil fuels like carbon fuels are used, more co2 is released into the atmosphere.

Co2 and other greenhouse gas emissions have been shown to be increasing in our atmosphere, according to NASA. If there are too many of these greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the Planet's surface will begin to trap even more heat. The Earth warms as a result of this.

What lessens the Earth's greenhouse effect?
Earth's greenhouse is full with plants, much like a glass greenhouse! Plants can assist in balancing the Earth's green house gases. From massive trees to microscopic phytoplankton in the sea, all plants produce carbon dioxide and emit oxygen.

The ocean also absorbs a significant amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Unfortunately, when Co2 levels go up in the ocean, the water becomes more poisonous. This is referred to as "acidification of the oceans."

Many ocean organisms, such as shellfish and coral, can be harmed by more acidic water. These animals can also be harmed by warming waters caused by too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Conclusion
Due to human intervention, the greenhouse gases in Planet Earth had increased. We need to take action to reduce the concentration of the gas emissions and reduce them significantly.
