Without this greenhouse effect, the average surface temperature would be 255 degrees kelvin (-18 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees Fahrenheit); a temperature so low that all water on Earth would freeze, the oceans would turn into ice and life, as we know it, would not exist.
The trapped energy warms the Earthâs surface, making it about 35Â°C warmer than it would be if we didnât have greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. There would be no life on Earth without the warmth provided by this natural greenhouse effect.
