Aim To demonstrate global warming Background Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide exist in our atmosphere They are called greenhouse gases because they cause the atmosphere to act like the glass of greenhouse That is, the sun's rays pass through the atmosphere and heat up the earth, and then the greenhouse gases prevent the heat from leaving Human activities like The 'greenhouse effect' is the warming of climate that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space Certain gases in the atmosphere resemble glass in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to pass into the 'greenhouse,' but blocking Earth's heat from escaping into space Graphic A simplified animation of the greenhouse effect NASA Global Climate Change Vital Signs of the Planet Skip Navigation menu close modal Explore Graphic The Greenhouse Effect A simplified animation of the greenhouse effect Also find this animated gif on our Causes page Credit NASAJPL/Caltech Downloads 768x432 744 MB
