Explainer: Global warming and the greenhouse effect

Greenhouse gases trap heat on Earth




Earth’s atmosphere, shown here in light blue, acts like the windows on a glass greenhouse. Some gases in the atmosphere — such as carbon dioxide — will trap certain wavelengths of energy (here shown in red) from bouncing back into space. That trapped energy, or heat, serves to keep our planet warm.
