Explain what happens when there is a lot of extra greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Explain what happens when there's not enough greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Based on those answers, are greenhouse gases inherently good or bad? Explain.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is why: If the atmosphere contains too much of these gases, the whole Earth becomes a hotter and hotter greenhouse. The atmosphere holds onto too much of the heat at night instead of letting it escape into space. Then, the next day, the Sun heats Earth's surface even more.
