Detailed explanation-1: -The greenest effect causes energy to be reflected from the surface of the earth back into space, so this is a false statement. This is our answer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Greenhouse gases trap sun’s heat energy. Prevents drastic fall of temperature at night.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The greenhouse effect is one of the things that makes Earth a comfortable place to live.
