What is the greenhouse effect?

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which the Earth's magnetic field protects the planet from harmful solar radiation.

• The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from the sun warms the planet's surface.
