Detailed explanation-1: -Without the natural greenhouse effect, the heat emitted by the Earth would simply pass outwards from the Earth’s surface into space and the Earth would have an average temperature of about-20°C.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to scientists, the average temperature of Earth would drop from 14˚C (57˚F) to as low as –18˚C (–0.4˚F), without the greenhouse effect.
Detailed explanation-3: -Remove carbon dioxide, and the terrestrial greenhouse effect would collapse. Without carbon dioxide, Earth’s surface would be some 33°C (59°F) cooler. Greenhouse gases occur naturally and are part of our atmosphere’s makeup.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Short Answer: The greenhouse effect is a process that occurs when gases in Earth’s atmosphere trap the Sun’s heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -The survival on earth without greenhouse gases is not possible because in absence of the greenhouse gases like CO2, water vapour, methane etc., the overall temperature of the earth will go down and it will become a frozen ball of ice.
