Answer: The greenhouse effect is how heat is retained by the atmosphere due to greenhouse gases whereas global warming is the increase in average annual temperatures across the globe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sun emits heat and light and some of that heat is trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases.

Global warming refers to a change in the Earth's climate that is causing it to heat up. The greenhouse effect, on the other hand, is a natural process that happens constantly, due to sunlight and the atmosphere.
