Using the analogy of a greenhouse to understand the energy radaited by Earth, it should be determined that what are the “windows” of Earth’s greenhouse made and in what ways is the analogy not precisely correct. Concept introduction: Ø Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors. Ø Greenhouse gases are one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming . Examples: C O 2 , C H 4 .. Ø Greenhouse effect: The heat near the earth surface gets trapped by the gases present in the earth atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps more heat. Ø Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth. Ø Weather is a short term changes (temperature, wind, rain fall …) in the atmosphere and it can be observed in a short period of time. Ø Climate is the long term weather pattern of a particular area.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the analogy of a greenhouse to understand the energy radaited by Earth, it should be determined that what are the “windows” of Earth’s greenhouse made and in what ways is the analogy not precisely correct.

Concept introduction:

Ø Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.

Ø Greenhouse gases are one type of gas which traps the heat within the system and thus it increases the overall temperature of the earth resulting global warming.

Examples: CO2,CH4..

Ø Greenhouse effect: The heat near the earth surface gets trapped by the gases present in the earth atmosphere. The carbon dioxide is the primary gas that traps more heat.

Ø Atmosphere: The atmosphere is defined as air that is layer of gases which surrounds the earth due to gravity of earth.

Ø Weather is a short term changes (temperature, wind, rain fall …) in the atmosphere and it can be observed in a short period of time.

Ø Climate is the long term weather pattern of a particular area.
