27 sie 2018 · 1. What is the greenhouse effect? Certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat and warm the Earth. Life on Earth 'exhales' gas that warms up the atmosphere. The tilt of the Earth changes the amount of solar energy the Earth receives. The Sun is putting out more radiant energy over time. Show explanation. 2.

Changes in the greenhouse effect, which affects the amount of heat retained by Earth’s atmosphere; Variations in the sun’s energy reaching Earth; Changes in the reflectivity of Earth’s atmosphere and surface.
There are two main ways to stop the amount of greenhouse gases from increasing: we can stop adding them to the air, and we can increase the Earth’s ability to pull them out of the air. Doing both will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
