The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface, playing a crucial role in maintaining a habitable climate. It occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere, known as greenhouse gases, trap heat from the sun. These gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere but prevent some of the heat that the Earth radiates back into space from escaping. This process is essential for sustaining life, but human activities have sign
