Solution

The Greenhouse Effect is the warming of the Earth’s surface due to the trapping of heat by greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases allow sunlight to enter the atmosphere freely, but when the Earth's surface emits energy in the form of infrared radiation, these gases absorb and trap some of the heat, preventing it from escaping back into space. This process keeps the Earth warm enough to sustain life but can lead to global warming when intensified by human activities.
