Explanation of the Greenhouse Effect Author; Rogelio Pérez C Summary; It says; that the greenhouse effect is originated by gases like CO2, because they retain the heat that emits the surface of the earth, which is heated by the sun, and reemit it in all directions. But the heat emitted by the earth is only -18°C, which is the equilibrium temperature, then 0.04% of the air, known as greenhouse gases, absorb this temperature of -18°C, and is back by the greenhouse gases in all directions at temperature of 14°C.Going from a heat emitted by the earth of -18°C to being irradiated by the GHGs at 14°C, an increase of 32°C, in other words a heat source of -18°C, can be increased by 32°C, or more, depending on the amount of greenhouse gases. Introduction; The earth is endangered by the rise in temperature, and this rise in temperature is scientifically explained by the process known as the greenhouse effect. This process consists of the retention of the heat emitted by...
