troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere.

The green house effect is the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.

Your welcome. :)
