The greenhouse effect occurs when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat radiated from the Earth's surface. The greenhouse effect was discovered in 1824 by Joseph Fourier and was later experimentally studied by John Tyndall in 1858 and quantified by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. Greenhouse gases act like the glass of a greenhouse, allowing sunlight to pass through but trapping heat, which warms the Earth's surface and lower atmosphere. Increased levels of greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the greenhouse effect and leading to problems such as rising sea levels and health issues.

2. The greenhouse effect was
discovered by Joseph Fourier in
1824.
First reliably experimented on by
John Tyndall in 1858.
First reported quantitatively by
Svante Arrhenius in 1896.

3. The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary
surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all
directions.
Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface, energy is transferred to
the surface and the lower atmosphere.
As a result, the temperature there is higher than it would be if direct heating by solar
radiation were the only warming mechanism.

4. The greenhouse effect is a warming near
the Earth's surface that results when the
Earth's atmosphere traps the sun's heat.
The atmosphere acts much like the glass
walls and roof of a greenhouse.
