Greenhouse effect happens when gases in the Earth's atmosphere capture the heat of the Sun. The Earth is substantially warmer as a result of this process than it would be if it didn't have an atmosphere.

Some examples of greenhouse gases are:

  • carbon dioxide
  • methane
  • nitrous oxide
  • water vapor
