Question
Explain the meaning of greenhouse effect.
Solution
The phenomenon of the trapping of infrared radiations of long wave length being radiated to space by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) to keep the environment warm at the planet’s surface and the lower atmosphere is called greenhouse effect.
