| greenhouse effect | The effect of certain gases in the Earth's atmosphere in trapping heat from the sun. (05 Dec 1998) |
| greenhouse gases | Gases that trap the heat of the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, producing the greenhouse effect. The two major greenhouse gases are water vapour and carbon dioxide. Other greenhouse gases include methane, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons, and nitrous oxide. (05 Dec 1998) |

| greenhouse effect |
warming that results when solar radiation is trapped by the atmosphere; caused by atmospheric gases that allow sunshine to pass through but absorb heat that is radiated back from the warmed surface of the earth

| greenhouse effect |
The warming of the Earth's atmosphere attributed to a buildup of carbon dioxide or other gases; some scientists think that this build-up allows the sun's rays to heat the Earth, while making the infra-red radiation atmosphere opaque to infra-red radiation, thereby preventing a counterbalancing loss of heat.

| greenhouse effect |
The process whereby short-wave radiation passes readily through the earth's atmosphere to surface areas, whereas the longer-wave outgoing radiation is absorbed and reradiated by water vapor, droplets and carbon dioxide, thus retaining heat in the atmosphere.

|
| greenhouse effect |
the holding of heat in Earth's atmosphere by certain gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Some scientists predict that the temperature and sea level rise associated with global warming could adversely affect biodiversity.

| greenhouse effect |
The heating that occurs when gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat escaping from the Earth and radiate it back to the surface; so-called because the gases are transparent to sunlight but not to heat and thus act like the glass in a greenhouse.
