🌍 The greenhouse effect is like a warm blanket around the Earth! ☀️ Just like when you wear a blanket to stay cozy, the Earth has special gases in the air that keep it warm. These gases trap heat from the sun, so our planet doesn’t get too cold. Without them, Earth would be very chilly! ❄️
But too many of these gases can make Earth too warm, which isn’t good for animals, plants, or people. That’s why we should take care of our planet! 🌱
🌍 The greenhouse effect is how Earth stays warm enough for life! ☀️ Certain gases (like carbon dioxide and water vapor) act like the glass walls of a greenhouse. They let sunlight in but trap some heat, just like a car gets warm in the sun. 🚗
Why it matters: Without these gases, Earth would freeze! But humans burn fuels (like gasoline) that add extra gases, making the planet heat up too much. This causes problems like melting ice and stronger storms. 🌪️
We can help by planting trees 🌳 and using less energy!
🌍 The greenhouse effect is a natural process where certain gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap heat from the sun. These greenhouse gases (like CO₂, methane, and water vapor) act like a one-way mirror: they allow sunlight to pass through but absorb and re-radiate heat back toward the surface. 🔄
Human impact: Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil) increases these gases, thickening the "blanket" and causing global warming. This leads to:
Solutions: Renewable energy (solar, wind), energy efficiency, and protecting forests can reduce excess gases.
