Ch 12 Energy use, Greenhouse Effect and Climate Change 2021.pptx

The Greenhouse Effect makes life on Earth possible. Our atmosphere keeps heat from radiating back into space.

Illustration of a greenhouse in the snow with rays of sunlight entering it. The greenhouse is capturing the heat. A snowman is off to the side of the greenhouse. Illustration of the Earth inside a greenhouse.

Illustration of the Earth's atmosphere capturing some of the Sun's heat with a thermometer on the side.

What happens if you add more particles into the atmosphere? Less heat escapes and hmm, it gets warmer on Earth - except for where it doesn't. (Hence Climate Change being a more accurate term than Global Warming.)
