The greenhouse effect contributes to global warming.<br />
<br />
It is caused by gases in the upper atmosphere which both:<br />
<br />
* Allow longer-wavelength warming radiation from the sun to pass down through to the lower atmosphere and the earth's surface; and simultaneously<br />
<br />
* Reflect back down to the lower atmosphere and the earth's surface (shorter-wavelength) infra-red radiation emitted by the earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
This happens because the greenhouse gases are relatively permeable by longer-wavelength radiation, allowing it to pass through and down to the earth, but relatively impermeable to shorter-wavelength radiation, reflecting it back down to the earth.<br />
<br />
<br />
Venus is another planet which experiences a strong greenhouse effect.<br />
