What is the Greenhouse Effect?

• It is the process by which the Earth's magnetic field protects it from harmful solar radiation.

• The trapping of that heat in out atmosphere that naturally warms our and that's what our Earth is called

• It is the process by which plants absorb sunlight and convert it into energy.

• It is the process by which the Earth's rotation affects the distribution of sunlight on its surface.
