Greenhouse Effect

The greenhouse effect is when light from the sun travels into a glass like containment. The light gets into the glass like containment and tries to get back out. The glass protects the light so it will never come out until the light is absorbed. This is what happens with atmosphere. The sunlight travels to Earth and tries to go back out. But the troposphere acts like the glass of the Earth. The sunlight is either absorbed into the Earth, goes back out to space, or gets absorbed into gas molecules.
