Study Notes
Greenhouse Gases and the Greenhouse Effect
- Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat and maintain Earth's temperature.
- The greenhouse effect is responsible for keeping greenhouses warm inside during winter, even at cold temperatures outside.
- The greenhouse effect impacts Earth's nighttime temperature by trapping heat and keeping the planet warm.
Greenhouse Environment
- The primary source of warmth for plants and air inside a greenhouse during the daytime is sunlight.
- Greenhouses are able to maintain a warm temperature due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases.
Carbon Dioxide and the Greenhouse Effect
- Carbon dioxide is a key greenhouse gas that plays a crucial role in the greenhouse effect.
