What is greenhouse effect?
The greenhouse effect is a course of action through which all thermal radiations from the planetary surfaces are being absorbed through the greenhouse gases that present at the atmosphere. All these thermal radiations then re-radiate in all directions. Not all thermal radiations go back to its previous area as there are some portion comes back towards the planetary surface and into the lower atmospheric level which cause the elevation of surface temperature. Solar radiation largely passes at the visible light frequencies by the atmosphere for heating up the planetary surface to an extensive level. After that, it releases the particular energy into the infrared thermal radiation at lower frequency level. Infrared radiation is basically absorbed by the greenhouse gases which work is to re-radiate all these energy into the planetary surface and lower atmospheric level. This mechanism has been named after inventing a formula where solar radiation passes through the glass and increasing the warming level of a greenhouse through consuming a large portion of solar energy. Even though, greenhouse works slight differently as it functions through lowering level of airflow for creating an isolate atmosphere for solar radiation to heat up the atmosphere surrounding the area. It certainly protect of losing of heat through convection.
History behind this invention
The presence of this greenhouse effect was initially being argued by
Joseph Fourier in the year of 1824. This particular argument and other
evidences were further extended by Claude Pouillet in the year of 1827
and 1838. Besides, the experimental observations were performed in the
year of 1859 by John Tyndall. It was quantified in a better way in the
year of 1896 by Svante Arrhenius.
It was proposed that, if a black-body which is thermally conductive stayed on the same distance as earth from the sun, it would consume a temperature for about 5.3 °C. As the earth does reflect for about 30 percent of the incoming ray of sunlight, the effective temperature of Planet would be about 18 °C. This temperature level is 33 °C lower than the actual surface temperature which is about 14 °C. The mechanism that helps to create this equation where the actual difference level of surface temperature and effective temperature can be understood and the process is known as the greenhouse effect.
There has been natural process of creating greenhouse gases. The greenhouse effect from earth is natural as it helps to make life. The unfortunate part is that, we people are increasing level of greenhouse gases through burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests in an extensive level. This certainly created an imbalance of natural greenhouse effect, which in turn causing global worming all over all over the planet.

What is greenhouse gas?
The greenhouse gas which is also termed as the GHG is another form of
gas that presents in the atmosphere with a function of absorbing and
emitting all types of radiations within a specific limit of the thermal
infrared range. This mechanism is the basic or fundamental reason of
developing the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases that
present in the world’s atmosphere are the water vapor, methane, carbon
dioxide, ozone, and nitrous oxide.
In the atmosphere of Mars, Venus, and Titan have also these gases
that can initiate the greenhouse effects. However, all these primary
greenhouse gases are extensively damaging the normal greenhouse effect.
It helps to increase the level of Earth’s temperature which in turn
increasing the water level of sea water. This will certainly develop a
devastating situation in near future as there is not any productive step
has taken to lower the atmospheric temperature of this planet. Consequence of producing an extensive level of these greenhouse gases will be reviewed on my next article.
