The greenhouse effect is an effect on the atmosphere as a result of the presence of a certain gases called greenhouse gases which are made up of carbon dioxide‚ chlorofluorocarbons‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ low-level ozone and water vapour. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are similar to the greenhouse glass panes which trap the heat and warm the greenhouse. When the greenhouse effect occurs‚ sunlight enters the Earth’s atmosphere and while some solar radiation is reflected back to space
