Greenhouse Effect

The solar energy is captured by the Earth's surface and absorbed, another part is irradiated to the atmosphere. Natural gases that exist in the atmosphere acts as a protective cover that prevents the spread of total heat into outer space, preventing them from getting lost in the night heat. So the planet remains hot.
The greenhouse effect is a natural process responsible for global warming.
Some gases such as carbon dioxide create a kind of roof, like a stove, leaving the earth on the sun come and not letting the heat out. The greenhouse effect caused by nature is essential for the maintenance of life on Earth.

· The solar radiation through the atmosphere. Some part of the radiation is absorbed by surface of the earth, heating it to;
· Some sunlight is reflected by the Earth and atmosphere, returning to space;
· Part of infrared radiation is reflected by the Earth's surface, but not returning to space as it is reflected and absorbed by the new layer of gases surrounding the planet;

The climate has naturally evolved over time, however in recent times the great man is responsible because the world population has increased and hence carbon dioxide (CO2) increases in the atmosphere.
This increase is due especially to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, the growing number of industries and the inordinate consumerism.
The greenhouse effect causes an imbalance in the Earth's natural and it is urgent to reduce emissions of harmful gases.
