Let us explain about green house gases​

Step-by-step explanation:

Green house effect

It can be explained as :

  • The sun emit radiations that consist of infra red rays , ultra violet rays and visible light .
  • The infra red rays (responsible for heating ) when come from sun , it travels through atmosphere and reaches earth surface .
  • On striking the earth surface , it gets reflected and reflected infra red ray has greater wavelength .
  • Then this reflected rays moves back through atmosphere .
  • On doing so , they encounter certain gas molecules like carbon dioxide , methane etc .
  • This gases absorb these rays and do not let them to escape through them .
  • As a result, they get trapped .
  • As we have already mention that they cause heating effect , due to this property they raise the temperature of atmosphere leading global warming .
