Ah, another idiot shows up. Get rid of the crap outside the greenhouse that is making a fool of yourself. Start with two identically sized buildings having well insulated walls, floor and ceiling and the same internal gas concentration and both located on the lunar surface during lunar daylight (i.e. no external atmosphere to confuse a dufus).

Now assume that one has a roof of clear glass, while the other has a roof of the same material but with opaque white paint covering it, i.e. the only difference between the two is the radiative behavior of the roof. Zero difference wrt to convection and conduction. Comprehend this Mr Moron?

What is the temp of the inside of these two structures? When you figure that out you will understand what heats a greenhouse. Do you understand the difference between heating and cooling? Any freaking idiot should be able to figure out that you can cool a greenhouse by allowing convection or conduction to extract heat , but only a moron goes on to then proclaim that a greenhouse heats up because you have convectively isolated it, as the above should make clear to you. In the above both building are treated IDENTICALLY for convection and conduction. Why you fools can't get rid of the extraneous details that befuddle you is beyond me.
