Question

A greenhouse – where plants are grown – is a model for Earth’s greenhouse effect. The reason greenhouse gases raise the temperature of Earth’s atmosphere is similar to, but not identical to, the way that the glass in a greenhouse raises the temperature inside. Using the greenhouse model as an analogy, the glass walls of the greenhouse trap the heat.

What traps the heat in Earth’s atmosphere to keep the heat from radiating into space?

Question 4 options:

Greenhouse gases


Global warming


Ozone hole
