Verified by Experts

(1)Greenhouse effect is caused due to heating up of earth'satmosphere.This heating is due to trapped intfrared rays that are reflected from the earth's surface by atmospheric gases.(2)The solar energy reaches the earth in the form of ultraviolet radiations are absorbed by the atmosphere along with order atmospheric ganes such as methane,nitrogen oxide,etc.(5)infrared radiation has heating effect thus it warms up the earth's atmosphere and various objects.(6)A part of the infrared radiations falling on the earth surface which have longer wavelength is reflected back into the outer space.(7)These radiations cannot escape out from the `CO_(2)` layer present in the atmosphere.(8)Carbon dioxide,along with the methane,nitrogen oxides and CFCs can absorb infrared radiations reflected from the earth's surface.(9)Therefore,the blanket of these gases in the atmosphere traps the reflected infrared rays and produces heat on the earth's surface.This results in greenhouse effect.(10)Greenhouse effect in turn causes global warming.
