Greenhouse gases are gases in the Earth's atmosphere that trap the sun's radiation and create a warming effect on the planet. Carbon dioxide is one of the most significant greenhouse gases and is released into the atmosphere through a number of sources.
Carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels for energy, from deforestation and agricultural activities such as burning forests and croplands, and from other human activities. Carbon dioxide is also released through natural processes like respiration and volcanic eruptions.
When carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it traps heat, leading to a rise in temperatures and contributing to climate change. Sort of like a blanket of warmth surrounding the Earth. This is why reducing emissions from burning fossil fuels and reducing deforestation is essential for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere.
Hope this helped! Have a great day. :)
