Describe the 'Greenhouse Effect' in your own words.

The greenhouse effect is the rise in the temperature of the Earth due to increased concentration of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor in the atmosphere. As these gases trap solar radiations released back by the Earth. This helps in keeping our planet warm and thus, helps in human survival. However, an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases can lead to an increase in the Earth's temperature leading to global warming.
