The greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon which plays a significant role in determining the climate of the earth. It generates a comparatively warm environment close to the surface of the earth where life has been able to prosper and thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It has to be one of the large numbers of physical, chemical and biological processes combining and interacting to determine the climate of the earth. Whether of the Earth on the whole or as a location, the climate is usually considered as the synthesis of weather registered for a long period of time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Close to 1\/3rds of the energy from the sun which gets through the top of the atmosphere of the earth is reflected in space directly. The left 2\/3rds is absorbable by the surface, to some level by the atmosphere. In order to equilibrate the incoming energy that is absorbed on an average, the Earth must radiate the same energy back into space.\u00a0 Since the Earth is relatively wintrier than the Sun, it gives out longer wavelengths mainly in the infrared portion of the spectrum. Most of such thermal radiation that is emitted by the ocean and land is taken in by the atmosphere, clouds and radiated again to the Earth. This is the greenhouse effect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
