More gases trap more heat making a warmer temperature.
|
|
|
More gases trap less heat so the temperature goes down.
|
|
|
More gases reflect more heat from the sun so temperatures drop.
|
|
|
More gases take up the space of the heat so temperatures drop.

Detailed explanation-1: -The greenhouse effect is the way in which heat is trapped close to Earth’s surface by “greenhouse gases.” These heat-trapping gases can be thought of as a blanket wrapped around Earth, keeping the planet toastier than it would be without them.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greenhouse gases let the sun’s light shine onto Earth’s surface, but they trap the heat that reflects back up into the atmosphere. In this way, they act like the insulating glass walls of a greenhouse. The greenhouse effect keeps Earth’s climate comfortable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere absorb light, preventing some of it from escaping the Earth. This heats up the atmosphere and raises the planet’s average temperature.
Detailed explanation-4: -An increase in the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases produces a positive climate forcing, or warming effect. From 1990 to 2019, the total warming effect from greenhouse gases added by humans to the Earth’s atmosphere increased by 45 percent.
Detailed explanation-5: -How does increases in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2) relate to global warming? Greenhouse gases trap heat from the Sun, causing the atmosphere to get warmer.
