Greenhouse Effect

Greenhouse effect
It is a phenomenon discovered by Joseph Fourier in 1824 in which Earth retains part of solar energy that passes through the atmosphere. This phenomenon allows the existence of life on the planet's surface. The average temperature of Earth with the greenhouse effect is of 14C°. Without the greenhouse effect it would be – 19C°.
The greenhouse effect is being accentuated on Earth by increasing evaporation of water and emission of certain gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, ozone and chlorofluorocarbons, generated principally by human economic activity.
How the Greenhouse effect works?
- The solar radiation passes through the planet´s atmosphere that contains the greenhouse gases.
- The solar radiation warms the surface of the earth and heat rises from the atmosphere.
- Some heat Is able to pass through the gases but some heat just can´t pass through and remains atmosphere, adding to the overall temperature.
