A natural process in which certain gases on the atmosphere keep heat near the Earth and prevent it from radiating into space.
A
Greenhouse effect
B
Carbon dioxide
C
Greenhouse gases
D
Methane
Explanation: 

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: -Earth’s atmosphere keeps much of the Sun’s energy from escaping into space. This process, called the greenhouse effect, keeps the planet warm enough for life to exist.

Detailed explanation-3: -The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and some is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases.

Detailed explanation-4: -The earth’s climate is influenced and changed through natural causes like volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, the Earth’s orbital changes, solar variations and internal variability.
