GASES
By: Anonymous
Heat from the sun shines
onto the Earth.
It passes through a
blanket of gases in
our atmosphere.
Some of the heat
energy is reflected
back into space.
Earth would be a
very chilly place
with an average
temperature of
-18°C !
The greenhouse gases help to keep
the temperature of the earth in
balance. This process is called the
GREENHOUSE EFFECT.
As we burn more
fossil fuels, for
example, the
blanket of
greenhouse gases
becomes thicker.
More greenhouse gases in the
atmosphere mean that more
heat energy is absorbed.
